abstract

  • Through collaboration among the service agencies collectively known as the Boston Consortium of Services for Families in Recovery, the Boston Public Health Commission implemented an integrated model of trauma-informed services that is culturally and linguistically appropriate to its service population of primarily poor urban Latina and African American women. The enhanced intervention was implemented in five Consortium-affiliated alcohol and drug addiction treatment programs providing outpatient, residential, and methadone services. Programs adopted trauma-informed service system enhancements and offered study participants a package of trauma-specific and trauma-informed clinical services. The assessment and consensus-building processes, enhanced model components, implementation process, challenges and lessons learned are described. © 2004 by The Haworth Press, Inc.
