Traumatic events include physical and sexual abuse; exposure to family, school and community violence; grief and loss; natural and man-made disasters; military related trauma; living with an impaired caregiver; and involvement in the child welfare or juvenile justice system.
The BTSRC uses several evidence-based treatment models including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Trauma Systems Therapy for Substance Abuse (TST-SA), and Alternatives for Families: A Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (AF-CBT), and Trauma Affect Regulation: Guide for Education and Therapy (TARGET).
The BTSRC provides community presentations and training on child traumatic stress.
To be eligible for services, youth must be between the ages of 3 and 17 and have been exposed to a traumatic event.
