Summary

This study tests a therapy called CFTSI for children aged 7 to 17 who have experienced a traumatic event in the last 3 months. The goal is to see if CFTSI reduces post-traumatic stress symptoms better than standard supportive therapy. 140 children and their families will take part in 5 weekly sessions, with a follow-up 3 months later.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Children aged between 7 and 17 years living in the family home; * Having been exposed to a traumatic event (TE) in the last 3 months; * Exhibiting at least one symptom on the Child Post-Traumatic Stress Checklist (CPC); * Having at least one of the two parents available to participate in the intervention; and * Having a good command of French, both orally and in writing. * No participation in other therapeutic interventions aimed at treating traumatic stress symptoms is allowed during the inclusion period. Exclusion Criteria: * Parents and/or children in acute and severe emotional distress and/or in a suicidal crisis. During the recruitment interview and signing of the consent letter, the principal investigator will ensure that the volunteer participants are not in acute suicidal crisis or in severe emotional distress requiring urgent care, which would prevent them from participating in a five-session intervention (CFTSI). This emotional distress assessment will be a clinical evaluation based on the clinician's judgment. * Child in foster care or in the process of being placed. * Suspected maltreatment or abuse of any kind by the parents. * Child and/or parent with a known and/or documented intellectual disability. * Absence of consent from either of the child's parents or the child's non-agreement to participate (appropriately obtained according to the child's developmental age, taking the time to explain the procedure and intervention to the child).
