What this trial studies

Resilient Roots is embedded in the TRANSFORM Center and offers Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) alone or TF-CBT augmented with a socialization component designed to address socioecological stressors. Youth aged 10–15 with a history of child abuse or neglect and their caregivers who are receiving services at the University of Rochester participate in the program based at the Mt. Hope Family Center. The intervention combines established TF-CBT techniques with family- and community-focused supports to strengthen coping, communication, and caregiver competence. Outcomes include symptom change, engagement in care, and family functioning.
