Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) for LGBTQ children and youth
LGBTQ children and youth are at high risk for trauma that is both related to and unrelated to their sexual orientation & gender identity. This training will discuss the integration of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), the most widely used trauma treatment model for children and youth, and the Family Acceptance Project® (FAP), the first research and family support model to reduce risk and promote well-being for LGBTQ+ children and youth. TF-CBT’s modified treatment model has shown a significant decrease in PTSD symptoms for LGBTQ children and youth.
