Funding from the National Institutes of Health builds on the grant given five years ago to establish the TRANSFORM multidisciplinary national research and resource center.

New federal funding will support the center’s programs addressing child and family trauma at individual and systemic levels.

New grants recognize the center’s success in addressing complex challenges among vulnerable children and their families.

The new TRANSFORM Center will focus on research, policy, and training aimed at preventing child maltreatment.

Sheree Toth, the executive director of the Mt. Hope Family Center and professor of clinical psychology, will deliver this year’s keynote speech at this year's annual Stanton/Anthony Conversations, which will focus on the mental wellness of children.

The study tested the effectiveness of interpersonal psychotherapy, a short-term depression treatment that has worked with more advantaged populations. The comparison was clear: home-based, interpersonal psychotherapy lifted depression much more effectively than standard care.

Toth has helped Mt. Hope Family Center achieve national recognition in the treatment of childhood trauma, maternal depression, and attachment disorders.
