Summary

This study tests a single 90-minute therapy session for teens aged 13-18 who have experienced trauma and are waiting for longer treatment. The session teaches coping skills and understanding of trauma cues. About 40 teens in New Zealand will take part to see if this approach is practical and helpful.

Active substance: Cue-Centered Therapy (CCT)-Informed Single Session Intervention (CISS)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide a quick, practical way to help teens cope with trauma symptoms and feel ready for longer therapy, reducing waitlist dropouts.
What could go wrong: This is a very small pilot study (40 teens) testing feasibility, not effectiveness. It may not show clear benefits, and results may not apply to all youth or settings.
