National Child Traumatic Stress Network

The National Child Traumatic Stress Network is a federally funded network of independent grantees, not a national membership organization. The NCTSN is intended to serve as a resource on child traumatic stress for other professionals and the public.

Opportunities to apply for competitive grants to become part of the NCTSN are contingent upon the availability of funds and the discretion of SAMHSA as the funding agency. Interested centers should review the SAMHSA web site regularly for announcements of new funding opportunities, through the NCTSN or related initiatives. Current funding opportunities are listed at www.samhsa.gov/grants/grants.html

In addition to using the materials available through this web site, professionals and the public can take advantage of the resources of the NCTSN in the following ways:

Establish linkages with an NCTSN center in your local community or region. See The National Network for more information about NCTSN centers in your area.
Subscribe to the NCTSN newsletter and join our mailing list to receive new NCTSN publications. For more information see the Newsletters.
Technical assistance to individuals and organizations outside of the NCTSN may be available on a limited basis. For more information contact the NCTSN's National Resource Center at info@nctsn.org.
