This study is looking at two types of therapy for children and teenagers (ages 5-17) who have experienced trauma and are showing signs of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). The therapies are called Trauma Focused CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and Trauma Systems Therapy. Researchers want to see how well these therapies work, especially for young people who are also dealing with stress related to their race or adjusting to a new culture. To join, a child or teen must have experienced trauma, have emotional difficulties, and have a parent or guardian willing to participate. The study will measure how much a child's trauma symptoms improve using a tool called the Child and Adolescent Trauma Screen (CATS) at the beginning and end of therapy. The study plans to enroll 237 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
