The Core Curriculum on Childhood Trauma (CCCT) is designed to raise the standard of care nationwide for youth and families who have experienced trauma by raising the standard of education and training in core principles of childhood traumatic stress for their care providers.
A major initiative undertaken by the UCLA-Duke University National Center for Child Traumatic Stress (NCCTS) and its partners in the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, the CCCT is being implemented across the US in settings that include community-based mental health centers; teaching hospitals; graduate schools; terminal undergraduate programs; and internship, residency, and post-doctoral training programs. Many sites that have adopted the CCCT implement it in conjunction with training on manualized interventions.
