Community Trauma Response

CFR’s Community Trauma Response (CTR) program helps communities flourish by providing grief and trauma interventions, specialized leadership training, and healing support to communities, organizations, and groups after a tragedy.

Services

CTR provides the following grief and trauma interventions:

  • Consultation and education for leaders regarding collective trauma and grieving processes and how to support their staff, students, neighborhood, and/or parishioners.
  • Create and facilitate workshops and support groups for staff, case managers, teachers, etc.
  • Workshops and support groups for those the organization serves

Individual, couple, and family therapy for anyone significantly impacted by the incident.

How to Work with CTR

Our relationships in our neighborhoods, schools, communities, service organizations, workplaces, and faith communities are fundamental to our well-being. Everyone feels the impact when a tragedy impacts these spaces or someone in these groups.

CFR’s therapists are experts in relationships and how strong relationships are the primary buffer against the negative impacts of traumatic experiences. Our therapists are experts in supporting groups (be they businesses or non-profit leadership teams, colleagues, school communuties, neighbors, or parishioners) to navigate grief, loss, and traumatic experiences.

These interventions can be ongoing and extend beyond the immediate crisis to address clinical needs that may arise several weeks or months after an initial crisis/community loss.

Contact Dr. Sara Corse, Director of Community Partnerships Initiative, to learn more about CTR.
