Background: Access to trauma-focused mental health care is often limited by shortages of specialized HCPs, high training costs, and resource constraints. Research on the real-world implementation of scalable training and intervention models remains limited.Objective: To evaluate the implementation of the Community Access to Resourced mean age 46; 84.0% female) with a history of trauma prior to age 18, were enrolled in the study, with 64.4% attending at least 6 of 8 group sessions. Significant reductions in PTSD symptoms were observed post-intervention (d = 0.49) alongside improvements in depression (d = 0.36), anxiety (d = 0.40), and stress (d = 0.39). All sites sustained the implementation of the intervention at one-year follow-up.Conclusion: The successful implementation of the CARE intervention across diverse healthcare settings underscores its scalability and promise as an accessible model for delivering trauma-focused care.
