MCCC's Hope Initiative work includes providing services to an underprivileged, rural population of children and their families. The Hope Initiative focuses on providing education, counseling/therapy, psychiatric/psychological, and advocacy services to child and adolescent victims of traumatic events, along with their parent or non-offending caregiver when necessary. There is a barrier in our area and many people don't have access to treatment. Many people in our community don't have access to the transportation they need or have the funds to pay for their treatment. With our program, it provides people with the ability to receive the help they need/want, when they wouldn't have had the opportunity. In order to receive specialized treatment, most families have to drive an hour or more to get the help they need. Having the program in our rural area allows them to have more accessibility to mental health treatment, particularly trauma. Staff are trained in TF-CBT in order to provide treatment child trauma. Some staff are trained in Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) to address trauma with younger children. We partner with our child advocacy center in our region in order to provide treatment and advocacy to those children who are at risk. We are community partners with the school system in one of the counties in our region and this allows us to provide education and services to those that may not know about the trauma program.

The National American Indian and Alaska Native Child Trauma Center TSA, Category II, located in the University of Iowa College of Public Health, Department of Community and Behavioral Health, within the Native Center for Behavioral Health. The Center's main focus is to increase national infrastructure for the Native and non-Native workforce to effectively prevent and reduce childhood trauma and increase wellness and resiliency among AI/AN children, adolescents, and their families. American Indian and Alaska Native people face traumas resulting from abuse, neglect, and household stressors. In addition, AI/AN children are also affected by racism, poverty, and the legacy of insidious historical oppression and trauma. Despite the elevated risk, there is limited empirical information to guide culturally appropriate treatments of trauma and related symptoms for this population. The National AI/AN TSA Center aims to identify, adapt, disseminate, and provide implementation support to the workforce serving AI/AN youth and their families impacted by trauma. We will offer support for service systems (e.g., schools, juvenile justice, child welfare, and healthcare settings) working with children.
