2010 TF-CBT Training Series
A proven treatment for youth who have experienced trauma
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a proven, short-term treatment model for children, youth and families who are experiencing emotional or behavioral symptoms related to trauma. TF-CBT teaches coping skills and helps youth and families tell the story of the trauma they’ve experienced. Research studies consistently show a reduction in trauma symptoms for children treated with TF-CBT.
