Study of Reminder-Focused Positive Psychiatry for PTSD in Adolescents

This study is looking at a treatment called Reminder Focused Positive Psychiatry (RFPP) for young people aged 11 to 15 who have Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). RFPP helps you learn to recognize and manage upsetting memories related to trauma. We are comparing RFPP to a relaxation therapy group. The goal is to see if RFPP can improve PTSD symptoms over 24 months. You can join if you have documented PTSD, are 11-15 years old, and can read and write in English. You cannot join if you have certain other health conditions like intellectual disabilities or seizure disorders. The study plans to enroll 60 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
