If you have questions along the way, please reach out to your EPIS contact for assistance. Below you'll find the tools necessary to meet these requirements.įollowing the steps below will orient you to the data collection process. TF-CBT projects funded by PCCD have unique data reporting requirements that must be met. Lastly, the process allows for program providers to communicate their great impact to key stakeholders across communities, current and future referral sources as well as future funders to sustain programming. It also allows for quality assurance and monitoring of the fidelity to the model, ensuring that the program is being delivered in the way it was designed. Evidence-based program providers perform data collection processes in order to know that the program is having the desired impact on the children, youth and/or families that the program targets. The data collection process is essential as it serves multiple purposes. TF-CBT is not appropriate for all children, nor is it appropriate for all children suffering from exposure to trauma.Data collection and quarterly reporting is a requirement of PCCD grant-funded programs.TF-CBT has been successfully used with children in the child welfare and juvenile justice settings, in outpatient and congregate care settings, with children who have extensive, chronic trauma histories, and those with a range of comorbid psychiatric issues.Treatment is completed in an average of 22- 26 weekly sessions.TF-CBT address issues commonly expereinced by trauma-tized children such as poor self-esteem, difficulty trusting others, mood instability, and self-injurous behaviors, including substance use.
The model is designed for children with complex trauma, depression, anxiety, and/or shame related to their exposure to a traumatic event as well as children who are experiencing significant Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms, whether or not they meet full diagnostic criteria.The TF-CBT model is appropriate for children from ages 3- 18 who have significant behavioral and emotional problems related to experiencing traumatic life events such as physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, domestic violence, sudden death or loss of a loved one, and community violence.
TF-CBT was developed on the basis of integrating both child therapies and cognitive behavioral interventions for the purpose of enhancing children's interpersonal trust and reempowerment. Research also shows that TF-CBT provides significant cost savings in reduced future treatment costs (Greer, Grasso, Cohen, & Webb, 2013). Children who complete TF-CBT treatment exhibit improvement in PTSD, depression, anxiety, behavior, and other symptoms. TF-CBT is the most widely researched and disseminated treatment for children suffering from exposure to abuse, violence, and other traumatic events. TF-CBT is an evidence based treatment model that is designed to provide children and parents/caregivers with knowledge and skills related to processing trauma managing distressing thoughts, feelings and behaviors and enhancing safety, parenting skills, and family communication.
