Hope After Trauma
Trauma can be deeply challenging and lead to serious mental health struggles, but it can be overcome. Children are especially responsive to treatment, giving every reason to stay optimistic about their recovery.

Training, support, and self-care 🧩
Preventing clinician burnout takes more than learning effective models. It also means strong supervision, group consultation, and care for self and relationships—so providers can keep showing up for children and families.

Caring for the caregivers
Supporting children through trauma—especially interpersonal violence—can be heavy work. TF-CBT leaders are addressing burnout, secondary trauma, and turnover to sustain compassionate, effective care.

When the story changes, healing has happened. ✨
In TF-CBT, progress often shows in how a child’s story shifts—from fear to strength, from pain to hope. Their words reflect resilience and recovery.

Caregivers Are Key to Healing 💙
In TF-CBT, caregivers spend half the session with the therapist and the other half is devoted to the child. Parents are often coping with their own pain, and their support is critical to helping children heal.

Exposure therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all.
In TF-CBT, exposure may happen through talking, writing, drawing—or even song lyrics for kids who express through music. The key is finding what feels safe and manageable.

Why exposure therapy looks different for kids 💞
In TF-CBT, exposure is gradual—starting with education and therapist modeling, not immediate trauma narration. Gentle pacing builds trust and readiness before going deeper.
