Justice Resource Institute, MB-CTTI

The Metropolitan Boston – Complex Trauma Treatment Initiative (MB-CTTI) at Justice Resource Institute (JRI) is a mobile service network delivering evidence-based trauma interventions to high-risk and underserved complex trauma-exposed children and youth ages 0-21 living in the Metropolitan Boston region. There are several groups of children and youth that we are prioritizing for services in this project, including trafficked and exploited youth, youth in state custody, LGBTQ youth, youth from military families, and urban youth of color. The primary aim of the MB-CTTI is to reduce behavioral health disparities among these consumer groups. The work of the MB-CTTI includes delivery of clinical services, including individual and family therapy, to children, youth, and their families, as well as consultation and training to program partners. We deliver trauma-informed interventions, consultation, and training to a range of service settings, including outpatient, community based, and residential settings. A central goal of the MB-CTTI is to enhance the infrastructure and capacities of program partners in order to support sustainability of trauma-informed evidence-based practices (EBPs) over time.

JRI is a non-profit organization with over 100 diverse programs. The mission of JRI is to provide trauma-informed and socially just services to underserved individuals, families, and communities.
