Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital (Dartmouth Health), NH
Project Align will focus on caregiver survivors of family, domestic, dating, and interpersonal violence (DV) and their children ages 0-18 in Sullivan and Grafton County NH and Windsor County VT, making up the community known as the Connecticut River “Upper Valley.” Survivors of DV and their children currently have little access to DV in-house mental health (MH) support and have many barriers to these supports in the community. Currently, the DV agencies do not receive mental health (MH) or trauma-informed care (TIC) consultation, and there is little guidance for cross-sector professionals to help align trauma-informed, DV-survivor centric practices, especially between MH, child welfare, and DV sectors. Project Align aims to address these gaps.
