About Us
Who We Are
The Child Trauma Research Program (CTRP) is a program within the University of California, San Francisco, Department of Psychiatry. In existence since 1996, CTRP is located at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital (ZSFG) in the heart of the Mission District. Since 2001, CTRP has been the lead program of the Early Trauma Treatment Network, a center of the federally-funded National Child Traumatic Stress Network.
Our team of multi-cultural, multi-lingual staff is dedicated to helping young children and families who experience traumatic events. We develop and research effective treatment models, provide training across settings and disciplines, and offer direct service to children and their families.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to develop, evaluate, implement, and disseminate science-based, relationship-focused, family-centered, culturally-informed interventions for trauma-exposed young children and their families, starting during pregnancy and through age 5 for children who witness or directly experience violence in their homes or communities; the death of a loved one; or life-threatening accidents, illnesses, or disasters.
