COVID-19 Technical Assistance Training Resources

The Community Technical Assistance Center of New York (CTAC) advances the effective and efficient delivery of services to children, adults, and families who rely on public sector services to meet their mental health needs. In the course of their work they offer a variety of trainings, tools, and support.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic CTAC is sharing this online video collection of past trainings that may be of use to those who provide behavioral health and mental health services, and of interest to anyone else who wants to understand how trauma and anxiety may affect people in times of crisis.

CTAC resources include video recordings of webinars and other virtual trainings, as well as downloadable PDF guides, as indicated.

Learn more about CTAC, which is co-directed by the NYU McSilver Institute.
