The National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) is an American organization whose "mission is to raise the standard of care and improve access to services for traumatized children, their families, and communities throughout the United States".

NCTSN supports trauma-informed care with a program called the Child Welfare Trauma Training Toolkit.

History

The NCTSN is coordinated by the UCLA-Duke University National Center for Child Traumatic Stress, and a network of more than 150 centers and thousands of partners throughout the US. It was named in honor of Yale physician Donald J. Cohen, and was established in 2000 by the US Congress.

The NCTSN is a resource for dealing with tragedies like the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
