The Trauma Center at JRI

The Trauma Center is a program of Justice Resource Institute (JR1), a large nonprofit organization dedicated to social justice by offering hope and promise of fulfillment to children, adults, and families who are at risk of not receiving effective services essential to their safety, progress, and/or survival.
The Executive Director of the Trauma Center is Joseph Spinazzola, Ph.D., and the Medical Director and Founder of the Trauma Center is Bessel van der Kolk, MD, who is an internationally recognized leader in the field of psychological trauma.
The Trauma Center Research Department is housed at our Brookline location and is also directed by Dr. van der Kolk.
The Research Department conducts studies on traumatic memory and how treatment effects trauma survivors' minds, bodies, and brains.
Our mission is to help individuals, families and communities that have been impacted by trauma and adversity to re-establish a sense of safety and predictability in the world, and to provide them with state-of-the-art therapeutic care as they reclaim, rebuild and renew their lives.
Client Services

The Trauma Center provides outpatient mental health services as a satellite clinic of the Sidney Borum, Jr. Health Center of Justice Resource Institute. Clinic services are reimbursable through self-pay, Medicaid, and MassHealth administered through the Massachusetts Behavioral Health Partnership (MBHP), and Tufts Health Plan. Clients with out-of-network insurance benefits may also qualify for services. We are unable to accept Medicare.
Training and Education Program
For three decades our Center has held an unparalleled reputation for leading the field of traumatic stress in the provision of state-of-the art training and education on local, regional, national and international fronts. Our senior training faculty have trained over 20,000 mental health providers in the past five years. We prioritize enhancing community-based capacity to provide high quality trauma services through our comprehensive trainer-training initiatives.

The Trauma Center is a Community Treatment and Services Site and an Intervention Development & Evaluation Site (in partnership with the National Center on Family Homelessness), working to raise the standard care and improve access to services for traumatized children, their families, and communities.
In addition, the Trauma Center offers a number of psychosocial initiatives for clients, communities, and multi-disciplinary providers.

 *** 1 Review for The Trauma Center at JRI
 03/31/2010  Smith    Boston, Massachusetts
In my experience this clinic did not provide the type of expert trauma care I expected. I was very disappointed by my experience. The therapist I was assigned to, in my personal opinion, did not understand how abandonment and betrayal retriggers a childhood trauma survivor. I believe this is one of the most fundamental principals of trauma psychology. Based on my own personal experience with the clinicians at the Trauma Center, I feel the Trauma Center fails to understand this or recognizes how a therapist's actions need to be well thought out and analyzed in light of how dangerous these triggers can be. The lesson I learned after being a patient at the Trauma Center was that one should not always have blind faith in the experts to understand the illness they attempt to treat.
