Resilient Roots: Supporting Youth and Families

This study, called Resilient Roots, is looking at ways to help young people aged 10 to 15 who have experienced trauma, such as child abuse or neglect, and may be dealing with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Researchers are comparing two types of therapy: Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and TF-CBT with added socialization support (TF-CBT+S). TF-CBT is a proven therapy for children who have experienced trauma. TF-CBT+S includes extra help to deal with stress from their community and learn coping skills. The study aims to see if these therapies can reduce PTSD symptoms, which will be measured after about 12-25 therapy sessions, roughly 6 months later. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 60 participants.
