Interventions

Adapted Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools (CBITS) with a Racial Trauma Module (RTM)BEHAVIORAL

The Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools (CBITS) program is a school-based, group and individual intervention designed to reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and behavioral problems, and to improve functioning, grades and attendance, and coping skills. The CBITS intervention was adapted to juvenile justice settings with an added Racial Trauma Module (RTM), which provides youth with an overview of the effects of racism on levels of traumatic stress.
