Focus Group Report: Trauma and the Family: Listening and learning from families impacted by psychological trauma. |
| FITT Center collaborates with the Maryland Coalition of Families for Children’s Mental Health (MD Coalition) and Youth MOVE-Maryland to include family and youth voice into the Center’s outreach, awareness/training activity and intervention and product development. |
| This focus group report is a summary of reflections and remarks made by Baltimore City families impacted by trauma. In order to develop effective family interventions, the Family Informed Trauma Treatment (FITT) Center partnered with the Maryland Coalition of Families for Children’s Mental Health-Baltimore City Office and Youth MOVE-Maryland staff to “listen and learn” from families and youth impacted by trauma. The goal of the focus groups was to learn about how trauma impacted family life and to better understand how families cope with frightening and overwhelming events.
