Below is time-sensitive information for agencies that are preparing a response for the Category II or Category III National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative Request for Applications (RFA). This RFA was initially released by SAMHSA on Thursday, March 26th, with a revision released on Monday, March 30th. If you are considering using the Learning Collaborative or Learning Community model as a method for dissemination and implementation, please consider the following information as you prepare your response to the RFA: Based on five years of experience in implementing the Learning Collaborative model, the UCLA-Duke National Center for Child Traumatic Stress (NCCTS), in consultation with other NCTSN members, has developed a document entitled The NCCTS Learning Collaborative Model for the Adoption & Implementation of Evidence-Based Mental Health Treatment: NCCTS Guidelines for Conducting a Learning Collaborative (PDF). We suggest you review these guidelines when considering the implementation and dissemination plans for your application. If the current Category I grantee (UCLA and Duke) is refunded as the National Center for Child Traumatic Stress, the NCCTS will conduct an assessment of the training needs of all current grantees and affiliate sites. The outcomes of the needs assessment will determine the priority interventions for 1-2 Learning Collaboratives and Learning Communities per year organized and coordinated by the National Center for Child Traumatic Stress. If you are interested in leading a Learning Collaborative or Learning Community as part of the three-year plan in your own RFA response submission (separate from the Learning Collaboratives coordinated by the NCCTS), please keep the following points in mind: - Learning Collaborative/Learning Community planning, coordination, and production (including administrative/infrastructure support, conference call line costs, instructional faculty travel and consultation costs, and improvement/evaluation costs) should be reflected in your RFA budget.
- Consider involving the Learning Collaborative model developers (NCCTS) or someone with previous Learning Collaborative coordination, participation, and/or instruction experience. This model of implementation is significantly different from traditional training and consultation models. Involvement of an experienced Learning Collaborative coordinator, participant, and/or faculty member will benefit your implementation efforts.
- Contact Nick Tise, Managing Director for the Training and Implementation Program at the NCCTS, if you have specific questions about your RFA response in the areas of training and implementation. Nick's phone number is (919) 682-1552 x260.

Psychological First Aid (PFA) is an evidence-informed modular approach to help children, adolescents, adults, and families in the immediate aftermath of disaster and terrorism. PFA is designed to foster short-term and long-term adaptive functioning and coping. In the Learning Community, teams and individuals will learn state-of-the-art ways of effectively implementing PFA through exercises and on-going dialogue. It involves (1) attending Learning Session 1 where PFA is introduced, (2) participating on regular conference calls and completing exercises throughout the action period, and (3) attending Learning Session 2 where teams and individuals share their experiences and learn advanced PFA strategies and skills. The Learning Community will run from April until August, 2009. The PFA Learning Community will include a special "Trainer" track for those individuals who wish to learn the skills and knowledge required to train others in PFA. Learn more about the PFA Learning Community, including access codes for the February 18 informational call, in the program flyer, or contact Brian Allen. February 2, 2009 | Applications Available | February 18, 2009 | Informational Call | March 2, 2009 | Applications Due | May 13 -14, 2009 | Learning Session 1 in Houston, TX | July 30 -31, 2009 | Learning Session 2 (Location TBD) | |
Integrative Treatment of Complex Trauma (ITCT) is a comprehensive, assessment driven, components-based model integrating cognitive-behavioral and relational approaches in the treatment of complex trauma in children and adolescents. Interventions are developmentally appropriate and specifically adapted to the matrix of cultural, social, and economic issues often relevant to childhood complex trauma presentations. Teams participating in the ITCT Learning Community learn this intervention through face-to-face meetings, conference calls, and use of web-based communication tools. Learning Community applicants should read Part 1 of the application packet, which contains important information on the collaborative approach, expectations for involvement in this collaborative, and key dates. Part 2 is the application form that teams must complete to be considered for inclusion in the collaborative. The application period for this Learning Collaborative has closed.

Below are answers to frequently asked questions concerning LCs and Learning Communities (LComs). What is a Learning Collaborative? A Learning Collaborative is: - A model that focuses on adoption of best practices in diverse service settings and emphasizes adult learning principles, interactive training methods, and skill-focused learning.
- A learning process that brings together teams from multiple NCTSN centers working on improving a process, practice, or system and learning from their collective experiences and challenges.
- A model that requires focused work by each team to adapt effective practices to their settings over the course of a 9-18 month learning process.
- An ongoing learning process that includes the following components:
- Approximately three in-person training sessions over the course of 9-12 months,
- Follow-up consultation activities (through phone and internet), feedback loops, and resources to support sustained learning, and,
- Opportunities to practice new skills and share progress through the Collaborative.
- A model that uses methods for accelerating improvement in settings and capitalizes on shared learning and collaboration.
- Designed to ensure organizational “give and take” about critical issues related to adoption and adaptation.
How does an organization join a Learning Collaborative?
A timeline for each proposed LC will be posted on the Training page of the NCTSN public website and announcements will be sent directly to the PI or other designated individual at your site. The first step for any organization is to target the intervention or practice your organization is interested in adopting. The process for joining a Learning Collaborative is: - Two Optional Informational Calls. These calls are facilitated by faculty of the Learning Collaborative. They will present a brief overview of the goals of the LC and the intervention or practice. This is an opportunity for organizations throughout the Network to ask questions about both the intervention/practice and expectations of membership in the Learning Collaborative. Basically, these calls serve to see if there is a “fit” between the organization and the target population, the practice/intervention, and the Learning Collaborative.
- Application Period. Following the Informational Calls there is an application period for Network sites to apply for consideration for inclusion in the Learning Collaborative. Criteria for inclusion is:
- Readiness of the organization to adopt the practice or intervention
- Willingness to utilize the Core Data Set and submit metrics
- Ability to assemble a core team (senior leader, supervisor and clinicians) to participate in the LC
- Ability to send a core team to all three Learning Sessions
Teams will be notified in a timely manner regarding the status of their application and the Pre-work phase will begin shortly after notification. What is a Learning Community? A Learning Community (LCom) is made up of individuals from Network organizations that have a common interest in a subject or problem related to trauma who collaborate over an extended period to share ideas, find solutions, and build innovations. A Learning Community does not include all of the elements of a Learning Collaborative but would include face to face contact, on-going sharing between participants regarding both barriers and solutions and incorporation of innovation learning opportunities between participants. What Learning Communities will be offered in '07-'08?
Two possible Learning Communities will be developed focusing on: - Psychological First Aid (still to be confirmed)
- Faculty/Train the Trainer
What other training activities can a Network organization become involved in?
The Training Program will be creating a calendar of trainings, workshops, and conferences offered nationwide with a focus toward trauma. The Distance Learning aspect of the Training Program will be offering a variety of opportunities through our Mediasite technology, offering both live and archived presentations from trauma experts within our Network. Currently we are developing the capacity to offer other courses online to extend our reach to teach about trauma and trauma practices. Please feel free to contact the Training Program staff at (919) 682-1552 if you have any questions. |
