Abstract
This manual describes a project undertaken by the ACS-NYU Children’s Trauma
Institute (CTI) to mitigate the impact of STS among child protective staff in New
York City, and thereby increase staff job satisfaction, resilience, optimism, selfcare
and social support, and decrease staff attrition, stress reactivity and burnout.
The Children’s Trauma Institute is a collaboration between the Administration for
Children’s Services (ACS), New York City’s public child welfare agency, and the New
York University Langone Medical Center’s Family Trauma Research Program. The
CTI’s mission is to partner with child welfare stakeholders and use trauma-related
knowledge in order to improve child welfare practice and outcomes on both the
individual and system levels..
