When the city of Cleveland launched ambitious plans to scale up mental health services for residents, it turned to the nonprofit Frontline Services and Case Western Reserve鈥檚 Center on Trauma and Adversity for help.
Megan Holmes, PhD, associate professor at the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences and the center鈥檚 founding director, helped ensure the effectiveness of the training at the city鈥檚 22 recreation centers that highlighted how poverty and stress affect child development. The goal was to implement a new approach to increase awareness about the ways trauma affects the centers鈥� staff and young visitors.
