The following interventions have been developed specifically for Complex Trauma and were designed to address a range of developmental concerns and competencies. Some intervene individually with children, adolescents, or young adults, while others involve work with children and their caregivers together, or with the entire family. While not specifically designed for complex trauma, TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and CPP (Child-Parent Psychotherapy) have also been utilized effectively to reduce PTSD and related difficulties in select complex trauma populations and settings. Please consult with a certified trainer for guidance on how to adapt TF-CBT or CPP for complexly traumatized populations.
