The NC Child Treatment Program
Effective Mental Health Treatment for Children and FamiliesEstablished in 2006, the North Carolina Child Treatment Program serves children, adolescents, and families coping with serious psycho-logical trauma or loss. Its faculty has trained a network of community-based mental health clinicians to provide effective, evidence-based treatments.
One such treatment, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), is designed to:
- Reduce negative emotions and behaviors especially those related to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, and sexual reactivity
- Correct unhelpful thoughts that make healing difficult
- Provide caregivers with the support and skills they need to help their children move past the trauma and loss.
