Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) has the greatest amount of empirical evidence of any trauma treatment for children and families. This presentation will provide an overview of the TF-CBT model, a summary of the existing TF-CBT research, and a concrete description of a couple of recent TF-CBT outcome studies. Also, several TF-CBT modifications for different groups and implementation settings will be described.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Participants will be able to describe the conclusions of two TF-CBT treatment outcome studies.
- Participants will be able to identify at least two modifications of the TF-CBT model.
