TRAUMA SUPPORT SERVICES OF NORTH TEXAS

Trauma Support Services of North Texas (TSSNT) is a Dallas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2007 that provides trauma-informed mental health therapy, advocacy, and education to survivors of crime and other traumatic events. The organization delivers no-cost or sliding-scale therapy to people without ability to pay and operates a training arm, the Trauma Care Institute (TCI), which offers live and on-demand trauma trainings and a trauma-informed care certificate program. In recent years TSSNT has reported expanding direct-services impact (tens of thousands of therapy hours delivered) and sustained program-focused revenues with the majority of spending directed to program services. The agency serves clients across the Dallas–Fort Worth region through in-person and HIPAA-compliant telehealth therapy and partners with local medical examiner offices, schools, and regional agencies to provide advocacy and crisis response. TSSNT combines direct clinical services with workforce development by training clinicians and community professionals in evidence-based trauma treatment, increasing local capacity to respond to homicide, sexual assault, child abuse, mass violence, motor vehicle crashes, human trafficking and related traumas.
