The Traumatic Loss Coalitions for Youth provides support to communities following a traumatic event. Services are designed to support children, teens, and young adults as they manage grief and build resiliency, in the aftermath of traumatic loss, such as suicide, homicide, sudden loss of a loved one, or other traumatic circumstances.
The Lead Response Team is made up of volunteer school personnel, mental health professionals, paraprofessionals, social workers, counselors, substance use treatment counselors, and community support service providers. The function of the Lead Response Team is to provide comprehensive multi-component crisis interventions following a critical incident in schools, community programs, or agencies servicing youth. Types of critical incidents include: sudden loss, such as death from a car accident, suicide, or homicide, school or community violence, or natural disasters.
