This one and half-hour online session will discuss the Culturally Modified-Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CM-TFT), an Evidence-Based Therapy proven to be effective for Hispanic and Latino children and adolescents that have experienced traumatic events. The adaptations (CM-TFT) include culture-specific topics like spirituality, gender roles, family, personalism, and respect, among other cultural elements. The therapy's main goals are to identify trauma experiences, provide psychoeducation, increase affect regulation, identify cultural considerations, process adverse experiences in a safe environment, in-vivo exposure, and enhance safety.
