NCT ID NCT07283471
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new workshop designed to help caregivers in residential facilities use everyday interactions to build trusting, healing relationships with children who have experienced trauma. About 300 caregivers and children aged 8 and older will participate. The goal is to see if the workshop makes caregivers more confident and intentional in their interactions, and whether children notice more positive connections.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Developmental Interaction Workshop Series (DIWS) – a behavioral training program for caregivers
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this workshop could give caregivers practical skills to help children in residential care heal from trauma and develop healthier relationships.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with no control group, so results may not be generalizable. The outcomes rely on self-reports, which can be biased.
