5 Treatment Modules
- Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP). A coaching model that supports the relationship between the parent and 0-5-year-old child to combat negative effects of trauma.
- Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools (CBITS). This group-based, trauma-informed group model targets middle-school-aged children to develop healthy self-soothing skills so they can return to classes and stabilize themselves. Parents and teachers are briefly engaged in this model.
- Community Resiliency Model (CRM). A trauma recovery model that can be taught to children, adolescents and adults using psycho-education and personal resources/supports that counteract the negative effects of a sympathetic nervous system response. This model does not require the client to reconstruct a trauma narrative.
- Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). A manualized trauma informed version of cognitive behavioral therapy engaging the child or adolescent and a parent or caregiver in individual sessions following a mnemonic (PRACTICE) which outlines the stages of sessions.
- Trauma Systems Treatment (TST). A trauma informed version of multisystemic therapy. This model targets behavioral post-trauma disturbances of children and adolescents.
