Digitalization and Adaptation of TF-CBT (Trauma-Oriented Cognitive Behavior Therapy) for Adolescents in Lithuania
Research shows that a significant number of children in Lithuania experience numerous potentially traumatizing events, including emotional, physical, or sexual abuse or neglect. These events place children at risk of developing dangerous mental health problems such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, drug dependency, and behavioral problems. The establishment of timely evaluation and accessible treatments can therefore have significant benefits for children, families, and communities at large.
A goal of the “Digitalization and Adaptation of TF-CBT (Trauma-Oriented Cognitive Behavior Therapy) for Adolescents in Lithuania” project is to digitalize, adapt, and validate the Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) in Lithuania. Research shows that a significant number of children in Lithuania experience numerous potentially traumatizing events, including emotional, physical, or sexual abuse or neglect. These events place children at risk of developing dangerous mental health problems such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, drug dependency, and behavioral problems. Many authors indicate that unaddressed trauma experiences in childhood can have long-term negative consequences as well as later subjection to violence. The establishment of timely evaluation and accessible treatments can therefore have significant benefits for children, families, and communities at large. The project will help implement in Lithuania instruments for complex trauma evaluation and trauma intervention, namely, TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy), which is an evidence-based, conjoint child and parent/caregiver psychotherapy model for children and adolescents who are experiencing clinically significant emotional and behavioral difficulties related to traumatic life events they have experienced.
The purpose of the project: digitalize, adapt, and validate the TF-CBT in Lithuania which is an evidence-based, conjoint child and parent/caregiver psychotherapy model for children and adolescents who are experiencing clinically significant emotional and behavioral difficulties related to traumatic life events they have experienced.
