Learner Objectives
This session will help participants…
- interpret trauma treatment outcomes for a vulnerable youth population that may struggle to fully engage or complete community-based mental health services.
- recognize the importance of using an intersectional lens while analyzing trauma-related outcomes.
- understand treatment and early termination nuances for children with complex trauma needs, such as minority children in foster care.
Description
This poster presentation describes nuances of trauma-focused cognitive–behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) for foster care youth. Through an analysis of a statewide TF-CBT initiative, effectiveness and early termination characteristics of services are highlighted in order to depict how foster/minority youth respond to treatment. It is questioned whether children who terminate treatment early can still show decreases in trauma-related symptoms. Implications regarding vulnerable subpopulations and their unique trauma treatment needs are provided.
