The Intervention Fact Sheets included on this page offer key information related to some of the interventions developed and used by members of the NCTSN. We encourage you to review the Overview page for more context and ideas on how to use these fact sheets.
We are in the process of updating all of our fact sheets to a new format that includes information about:
RRFT is an integrative approach to addressing the heterogeneous symptoms experienced by trauma-exposed adolescents. It targets a broad range of trauma-related psychopathology (e.g., PTSD, depression) and risk behaviors (substance use/abuse, risky sexual behavior, non-suicidal self injury).
SMART is a structured, phase-based approach to treating sexually abused children who are exhibiting sexual behavior problems. The model has been successfully implemented with a primarily African American population since 1998.
Sanctuary is a trauma-informed, evidence-supported template for system change based on the active creation and maintenance of a nonviolent, democratic, productive community to help people heal from trauma. It addresses the marginalization of specific cultural groups through exposure to trauma.
SPR is a manualized, evidence-informed intervention that is intended to foster short and long-term adaptive coping in disaster survivors who are exhibiting moderate levels of distress.
SFCR is a manualized, skills-building intervention designed for families living in traumatic contexts, with the goal of reducing the symptoms of trauma-related experiences of children and adult caregivers.
SPARCS is a manually-guided and empirically-supported group treatment designed to improve the emotional, social, academic, and behavioral functioning of adolescents exposed to chronic interpersonal trauma and/or separate types of trauma.
SSET is a skills-based, group intervention for middle and high school students who’ve been exposed to trauma and have symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Trauma Adapted Family Connections (TA-FC) is a manualized, evidence supported and trauma-focused preventive ntervention developed to address the glaring gap in services for this specific, growing, and underserved population.
TARGET is a strengths-based, present-centered, educational/psychotherapeutic intervention designed to prevent and treat traumatic stress disorders.
TGCT-A is a manualized group or individual treatment program for trauma-exposed or traumatically bereaved older children and adolescents that may be implemented in school, community mental health, clinic, or other service settings.
Trauma Systems Therapy (TST) is a model that addresses the primary reason that care is typically sought for a traumatized child: The child expresses episodes of uncontrolled emotion (e.g. anxiety, sadness, rage, dissociations, flashbacks) and/or behavior (e.g.
TST-R is a comprehensive method for treating traumatic stress in children and adolescents that adds to individually-based approaches by specifically addressing social environmental/ system-of-care factors that are believed to be driving a child’s traumatic stress problems.
