Summary
This study tests a package of strategies (like mindfulness training and schedule changes) to reduce burnout and turnover in 60 therapists who deliver trauma-focused therapy to children. The goal is to help therapists stay in their jobs longer, so more kids can get consistent, effective care. Researchers will measure changes in burnout and intentions to quit over time.
