    The key takeaways are that TF-CBT is a treatment model that aims to resolve PTSD, depression, anxiety and other trauma-related symptoms in children and adolescents using cognitive behavioral therapy principles.

    The goals of TF-CBT are to resolve PTSD, depressive, anxiety and other trauma-related symptoms in children and adolescents; optimize adaptive functioning; and enhance safety, family communication and future developmental trajectory.

    Six randomized controlled trials have shown that children receiving TF-CBT experienced significantly greater improvements in symptoms, both immediately post-treatment and up to 2 years later, especially for PTSD symptoms. Other studies have also supported TF-CBT's effectiveness.
