Summary

This study explores whether Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) is a practical and helpful treatment for children aged 0-6 who are in foster care and have experienced traumatic events. The therapy involves the child and their caregiver working together to reduce trauma symptoms and strengthen their bond. Researchers will track changes in the child's emotional and behavioral health to see if this approach is worth offering more widely.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Child-Parent Psychotherapy, a relationship-based trauma-focused therapy for children and their caregivers
What this could lead to
If this therapy proves feasible, it could offer a way to help some of the most vulnerable children—those in foster care—recover from trauma and build secure attachments.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study, so it may not show clear benefits. The therapy requires caregiver participation, which may be challenging, and results may not apply to all families.
