The National Center for Children Exposed to Violence at the Yale Child Study Center (NCCEV), in collaboration with the New Haven Department of Police Service, hosted a visit by representatives from Japan's National Research Institute of Police Science (NRIPS) on Nov. 21.
Juichi Kobayashi and Takayuki Miyadera, the director and a research psychologist respectively from NRIPS, came to the Yale Child Study Center to meet with senior faculty and law enforcement professionals to discuss the concepts, methods and practices of the Child Development-Community Policing Program (CD-CP) mode. The topics they discussed included understanding patterns of psychological disturbances in children and the clinical interventions and police practices used to treat children who have been exposed to violence in their homes, schools and communities.
The purpose of the visit is for the NRIPS to learn from the CD-CP Program model how they can further develop their Juvenile Service Centers to assist child victims of crime more effectively.
The following day, Kobayashi and Miyadera spent time in Guilford, Connecticut, with representatives from the Guilford CD-CP Program (consisting of personnel from the Guilford Police Department and Guilford Youth and Family Services).
The CD-CP Program was established in 1991 and formed the basis of the NCCEV, which was established in 1999. The program is under the direction of Steven Marans, the Harris Associate Professor of Child Psychoanalysis and associate professor of psychiatry at the Yale Child Study Center.
The goals of the NCCEV are to raise public awareness about the effects on children's exposure to violence; provide training and technical assistance in the CD-CP Program model to communities nationwide; and to serve as a national resource center for professionals and the public on children's exposure to violence.
A cornerstone of the CD-CP Program is the 24/7 acute response consultation service, which joins mental health professionals with law enforcement officials who provide emergency clinical services to children and families at the scene. Follow-up services are provided at the family's request.
