Summary

This study aims to redesign Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) so it works better in schools. Researchers will work with school counselors and students aged 7-19 to make the therapy easier to use and more engaging. The goal is to help more young people get effective trauma treatment in the place where they already receive mental health support.
