The National Center for Children Exposed to Violence (NCCEV) at the Yale Child Study Center has designated the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Child Development-Community Policing Partnership (CM CD-CP) as the NCCEV Southeast Regional Training Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The Southeast Regional Training Center is the result of an eight-year collaboration between the CM CD-CP program and the NCCEV at the Yale Child Study Center. The collaboration in New Haven between police and mental health professionals responds to children and families who have been involved in violent emotional trauma.
"Over the years our colleagues in Charlotte have become our teachers and our friends," says Steven Marans, director of the NCCEV and the Harris Associate Professor of Child Psychoanalysis and Psychiatry at the Yale Child Study Center. "We are committed to children and families exposed to violence and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to work together to address their needs."
The first activity of the new Southeast Regional Training Center was to train a partnership team from the Raleigh Police Department and the Wake County Department of Child Welfare and Mental Health Services. The program, which included 50 hours of training, was conducted in Charlotte March 8-12.
As a formal partner with NCCEV, the North Carolina program will provide training and technical assistance and work collaboratively with first responders to children exposed to violence. It will also serve as an additional resource for consultation and technical assistance to local law enforcement and mental health professionals during national crises/trauma responses. In addition, the CM CD-CP will work to increase public awareness of the needs of children who are at risk for traumatic reactions to the emotionally overwhelming experience of exposure to violence.
The NCCEV was established in 1999 by the Department of Justice and the White House. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg CD-CP was one of the first of 14 program replication sites to implement collaborative police-mental health responses to children exposed to violence.
