Summary

This trial tests whether a school-based counseling program called CBITS can help reduce trauma-related symptoms in Pakistani adolescents aged 10-16 who have experienced traumatic events. Participants will attend about 10 group sessions covering skills like relaxation, coping thoughts, and problem-solving. Researchers will measure changes in trauma symptoms and psychological distress before and after the program to see if it works for this population.
