A Program Overview- Trauma Affect Regulation: Guide for Education and Therapy

This comprehensive implementation manual provides step‑by‑step guidance for child welfare agencies and partners seeking to implement the Trauma Affect Regulation: Guide for Education and Therapy (TARGET) intervention in Illinois. Developed as part of the QIC‑AG project, the manual outlines a structured process to assess system readiness, identify the appropriate target population, develop a theory of change, and implement the intervention with fidelity. It includes detailed descriptions of the intervention’s core components, practical considerations for rollout, and lessons learned from pilot implementation, making it a valuable resource for jurisdictions planning to replicate or adapt trauma‑informed, post‑permanency supports for adoptive and guardianship families.
