Community Programs

History


Tipping Point Community engaged CTRP in 2008 to create a partnership with the goal of making
mental health services more accessible to families impacted by economic and racial injustice by
embedding hospital-based services into grantee organizations. In addition, UCSF-CTRP practitioners
supported these organizations by strengthening the mental health capacity of non-profit agency staff
through consultation and training. Tipping Point Community initiated an investment strategy in 2020
to elevate system-level capacity building efforts in mental health and wellness among their grantees;
the process was informed by consultation efforts with LFA Associates and Cardenas Consulting
Group. CTRP continues to support Tipping Point grantee organizations in their system level capacity
building – these efforts are targeted based on recommendations identified through the consultation
process as well as enhanced by the institutional knowledge and trust built over a decade-long
partnership among UCSF-CTRP, Tipping Point, and their grantees.

Reflective Practice (RP) is an established interdisciplinary practice for individuals who work with trauma-impacted children and families. RP has been shown to reduce and prevent burnout and vicarious traumatization across organizations. This multi-month series supports organizations in building capacity to start and sustain reflective spaces for staff at all levels of the organization. Participants will learn about rupture and repair, reflective capacity, and community care from a sociocultural lens.

Trauma-Attuned Practices (TAP) is a curriculum delivered over eight months that centralizes relationships to address the disorganizing force of trauma that can ripple through a system. Participants engage in five didactic workshops and approximately biweekly communities of practice. TAP teaches organizations how to combat normative systemic responses to trauma through attunement, building reflective capacity, prioritizing equity and wellness, modeling community building, and engaging in high-powered peer consultation to elevate participant perspectives and networking across agencies and programs.

This 5-part series will support ELS’s in deepening their understanding of trauma and Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH). Participants will learn about the basic underpinnings of trauma during the first 5 years of life, the impact of sociocultural trauma on development and the manifestations of sociocultural trauma in IECMH.
