The Child Trauma Research Program (CTRP) Clinical Social Worker is a full-time position within CTRP, a clinical research program at the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of California, San Francisco. CTRP is nationally recognized for its leadership in developing effective, family-centered interventions for children aged birth through five who experience traumatic events. Our team of multi-cultural, multilingual staff is dedicated to helping young children and their families heal from trauma. We develop and evaluate effective treatment models, provide training across settings and disciplines, and offer direct service to children and their families. Since 2001, CTRP has been the lead program of the Early Trauma Treatment Network, a center of the federally- funded National Child Traumatic Stress Network. Five randomized trials support the efficacy of Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), our intervention for children aged 0-5 who have experienced at least one traumatic event (e.g. maltreatment, the sudden or traumatic death of someone close, a serious accident, sexual abuse, exposure to domestic violence). As a result, many organizations across the country and internationally are seeking training in CPP.

CTRP is funded to conduct clinical research and dissemination of training on Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) and other related early childhood trauma-informed interventions. There are currently approximately 15 research protocols at CTRP approved by the Committee for Human Research at UCSF. Clinical provision and clinical administrative support is also critical for the functioning of CTRP.
