Helping Children Recover From Trauma
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a family-centered, short-term treatment that helps children ages 3-18 recover from upsetting thoughts, feelings, and behavior associated with trauma exposure. It is one of the most widely researched treatments for children who are victims of trauma, including violence, sexual abuse and physical abuse. Research shows that children who participate in TF-CBT demonstrate significant improvements in feelings and behavior, and TF-CBT also has been shown to reduce future health care and other costs.
