The La Rabida CCTC serves survivors of sexual abuse, physical abuse, exposure to domestic violence, neglect, exposure to community violence and medical traumas, as well as children in the foster care system. Clinical activities may include conducting trauma-focused assessments, crisis intervention, inpatient trauma-focused consultations/liaison to medical staff, trauma-focused psychotherapy, and groups. Fellows will receive exposure to a wide variety of treatment modalities including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Attachment, Self-Regulation, and Competency (ARC) model, Child-Parent psychotherapy (CPP), assessment and treatment for children with sexualized behavior problems, as well as a family systems approach. Realizing that children and their families function in a larger community and societal context, the CCTC maintains close working relationships with the many systems involved with our families (for example, schools, social service agencies, the juvenile justice system, and others). Our service population consists chiefly of African American children living in low resourced south side Chicago neighborhoods. Department members design treatment protocols that incorporate the individual and cultural needs of our patients and their families. The training program is designed to encourage culturally sensitive conceptualization and focuses on reflective practice and cultural humility. Qualified applicants must have completed, or be currently completing, an APA-approved predoctoral internship with child training. Experience working with children/adolescents with trauma histories and a commitment to serving marginalized communities is also required. Please see the APPIC Directory or contact Catharine Thomann (cthomann@larabida.org) for additional information.
