Site Development and Maintenance

NCTSN.org is a resource for the public, professionals, and others who care about children and are concerned about child traumatic stress.

It is the web site of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN), which is funded by the Center for Mental Health Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The NCTSN site is maintained by the National Center for Child Traumatic Stress (NCCTS) in consultation with the NCTSN Steering Committee as well as advisors from among NCTSN member centers and the public. NCTSN itself receives advice and guidance from its National Advisory Board.

Many of the materials on NCTSN.org have been created by collaborative groups of NCTSN members. These materials contain author credits. In most cases, uncredited materials have been developed by NCCTS professional staff with guidance from the NCCTS Executive Committee and various NCTSN members.
