National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative - Treatment and Service Adaptation (TSA) Centers

The National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative - Treatment and Service Adaptation Centers aims to establish and operate Category 2 Centers that deliver national expertise in addressing specific childhood traumatic events, target population groups, and service systems. These centers will focus on adapting proven, evidence-based treatment and service models to meet the unique needs of diverse communities across the United States, ensuring that effective interventions are tailored and accessible where they are most needed. The initiative is driven by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration under the Department of Health and Human Services to strengthen the nationwide response to childhood trauma through specialized, scalable solutions. The program is forecasted with a posted date of December 10, 2025, and the primary point of contact is Jennifer Isely, reachable via email at cat2nofonctsi@samhsa.hhs.gov or by phone at 240-276-2563. While details such as solicitation number, NAICS code, set-aside type, and specific location are not yet defined, the initiative is intended to serve as a national resource, supporting the implementation of culturally and contextually appropriate trauma-informed care across various service systems. Participation is expected to involve organizations with demonstrated capacity in child trauma treatment, adaptation research, and community outreach to ensure broad and equitable impact.
