  • Fuerte Program for Newcomer Immigrant Youth

    Sorry, accepting new patients by invitation only

    The present study is a randomized control trial to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of a school-based group prevention program (Fuerte) in San Francisco Unified School District Public Schools. In addition, the present study will also inform effective procedures for adaptations of the Fuerte program for other newcomer immigrant youth from non-Latin American countries. Fuerte targets newcomer Latinx immigrant youth (five years or less post arrival in the U.S.) who are at risk of experiencing traumatic stress. In particular, the Fuerte program focuses on increasing youth's mental health literacy, improving their social functioning, and identifying and connecting at-risk youth to specialty mental health services. The program will be implemented by mental health providers from various county community-based organizations, as well as from the SFUSD Wellness Centers, who already offer mental health services in SFUSD schools.

  • Trauma-Informed Care for Smoking Cessation for Pregnancy

    Sorry, not yet accepting patients

    Trauma-informed approaches have been shown to support recovery from other substance use disorders and involve four key elements: (1) Realizing the prevalence of trauma and pathways to recovery, (2) Recognizing symptoms of trauma, (3) Responding by embedding knowledge of trauma into practices and policies and (4) Resisting re-traumatization (the 4Rs). In close partnership with Breathe California and a public safety-net clinic in San Francisco that serves primarily racial and ethnic minoritized (REM) pregnant women, the 4Rs along with the Ask, Advise, Assess, Assist and Arrange (the 5As) evidence-based intervention for tobacco cessation that is delivered by health care professionals and is a US Public Health Services clinical practice guideline for treating tobacco will be used to create and implement a smoking cessation intervention for pregnant women with experiences of trauma.
