Summary

This study tests a personalized version of a therapy called Stepped Care Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for children who have experienced trauma. The therapy is adapted for Latino families and involves caregivers helping their children through a step-by-step process. Researchers will enroll 30 children ages 7-12 and their parents to see if this approach reduces PTSD symptoms and improves daily functioning.
