The Core Curriculum on Creating Accessible, Culturally Responsive, and Trauma-Informed (ACRTI) Services

Brief Overview

For more than a decade, the Core Curriculum on Creating Accessible, Culturally Responsive, and Trauma-Informed (ACRTI) Services has been a cornerstone of NCDVTMH’s work. Over the years, we have partnered with programs and coalitions nationwide to build capacity and to integrate the ACRTI philosophy into both service provision and organizational culture. We now present a revised version of this well received and widely used Core Curriculum, updated based on experiences of survivors, advocates, trainers, and leaders in the field.

The full curriculum—including presentations, video trainings, and written materials—is available for download here.

This monthly webinar series will explore these enhanced capacity building resources and provide insight from staff who have utilized these tools in the field.
