Cognitive-behavioral resilience training for parolees adjusting after release

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

At a Los Angeles reentry facility, eligible residents will either take a brief, five-session cognitive-behavioral resilience program or opt into an assessment-only comparison group. The intervention (target N = 30) delivers weekly CBT sessions focused on coping with the effects of institutionalization, while the assessment-only group (target N = 30) completes the same measures on the same schedule. Participants complete self-report measures of adjustment disorder symptoms, flourishing, meaning and purpose, and PTSD symptoms at baseline, five weeks (posttreatment), and 13 weeks (2-month follow-up), and report program satisfaction at posttreatment. The pilot is designed to test feasibility and acceptability and to provide preliminary signals of symptom and well-being change.
