TF-CBT is an evidence-based psychotherapy model aimed at effectively addressing impact of trauma on children, adolescents, and caregivers. TF-CBT has been recognized as a model program by SAMSHA (The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) due to extensive outcomes from randomized  controlled trails. Through TF-CBT, youth and parents learn new skills to help process thoughts and feelings related to traumatic life events; manage and resolve distressing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related traumatic life events; and enhance safety, awareness, parenting skills, and family communication (Adapted from tfcbt.org).
