Intensive Trauma Training and Implementation Program

In May, 2002, DVMHPI launched the Intensive Trauma Training and Implementation Program (ITTIP), an intensive training and support opportunity for agencies that wish to develop and sustain trauma-informed services that address the mental health needs of domestic violence survivors and their children. The program is a series of three intensive trainings (eight full days) with follow-up support. Agency personnel who receive intensive training will also participate in bi-monthly peer supervision groups and benefit from ongoing consultation with the training specialists. Agencies that participate in this intensive training will play an important role in informing the work of the critical issue groups as they develop integrated practice models.

Eighteen Chicago-area domestic violence and mental health agencies have completed the ITTIP sequence of trainings as of March 2003.
