Collaborative Partners Program

Collaborative Partners Program Overview

What are TraumaTALKS?

The Collaborative Partners Program provides child-serving organizations the opportunity to integrate Chester Street Foundation’s TraumaTALKS into their on-going training programs.  Participants gain the foundational skills necessary to support the children they serve.

We believe education is a critical component to helping traumatized children on their road to recovery. TraumaTALKS deliver exceptional, trauma-informed training and professional development presentations that address various aspects of trauma.

Led by trauma survivor Shawn Alex Nemeth, Dr. Ann Friedman, Ph.D, and other mental health professionals, these sessions are tailored for frontline individuals, including mental health professionals, educators, and organizations focused on children.
