Terry Reilly Health Services
The Terry Reilly Child Traumatic Stress program operates within the Behavioral Health Division through the Trauma and Resilience Centers. These centers provide community-based outpatient counseling and treatment programs dedicated to addressing sexual abuse, trauma, and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), while also enhancing individual and family capacity for safety, stability, and healing. Terry Reilly began offering specialized trauma services in 1983 in response to the increasing awareness of the prevalence and severity of sexual abuse in the community. Today, Terry Reilly operates Idaho's largest outpatient counseling program dedicated to treating sexual abuse. Providers are state-licensed mental health professionals with master's degrees and specialized training in trauma and sexual abuse. They offer a variety of evidence-based clinical practices, including play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which has proven to be a powerful tool in recalling and relieving the deep trauma of abuse.
Texas Christian University/Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development
The Center for the Adaptation and Implementation of Trust-based Relational Intervention (CAIT) is located in the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development at Texas Christian University. CAIT aims to provide national expertise in the training and implementation of Trust-based Relational Intervention (TBRI) and to support the continuum of care in child welfare and juvenile justice systems through specialized adaptations of TBRI. TBRI is an attachment-based, trauma-informed, whole-child approach to meeting the needs of children and youth who have experienced early adversity, toxic stress, and/or relational trauma. The TBRI model was developed at TCU to address the effects of trauma through three sets of practice principles: Connecting, Empowering, and Correcting. CAIT will address current gaps in trauma treatment, service delivery, and workforce development through (1) the development of an integrated trauma treatment model incorporating trauma assessment with current TBRI intervention practices; (2) the specialized adaptation of TBRI training and consultation for delivery in distinct service settings (child welfare & juvenile justice) and to be appropriate for different caregiver roles and diverse family structures (bio parents, resource parents, residential direct care staff); and (3) strategic collaboration to equip the child/youth-serving workforce through the NCTSN and through a wide established network of practitioners in the field.
