Study to Reduce Burnout in Therapists Delivering Child Trauma Therapies

This study is testing a new approach called SUPPORTS to help therapists who deliver evidence-based mental health programs (EBPs) for children who have experienced trauma. Many children don't get these important services because therapists can experience burnout, leading to them leaving their jobs. The SUPPORTS model will include strategies like education about burnout and mindfulness to help therapists stay in their roles. The goal is to see if SUPPORTS can reduce therapist burnout, which would help more children get the care they need. Therapists who have delivered trauma EBPs to a child in the past year and have worked at their current agency for at least six months may be able to join. The study will measure changes in therapist burnout over 12 months.
