Supporting LGBTQIA+ youth in foster care
FosterCARE training is a behaviorally based, empirically supported program developed to provide foster parents with skills for interacting effectively with youth (aged 2–18) with trauma histories. In this paper, we suggest that the trauma-informed skills, wide age range, and focus on parent–child interactions inherent within the FosterCARE model could provide a promising foundation to serve LGBTQIA+ foster youth and their families. This article d…
Trauma-Directed Interaction (TDI)
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is one of the strongest evidence-based treatments available for young children and their families. Research has supported the use of PCIT for children with a history of trauma; however, the treatment does not directly address trauma in the child. PCIT is a dyadic treatment; yet, the impact of the carer's trauma on the carer-child relationship is not assessed or incorporated into treatment. For these reasons…
Neural vulnerability and hurricane-related media are associated with post-traumatic stress in youth
Leveraging parent–child interaction therapy and telehealth capacities to address the unique needs of young children during the Covid-19 public health crisis
COVID-19 and related efforts to mitigate its spread have dramatically transformed the structure and predictability of modern childhood, resulting in growing concerns children may be particularly vulnerable to serious mental health consequences. Worldwide stay-at-home directives and emergency changes in healthcare policy and reimbursement have smoothed the trail for broad implementation of technology-based remote mental health services for childre…

Trauma, Grief and Depression in Nairobi Children After the 1998 Bombing of the American Embassy
Despite the increasingly dangerous world where trauma and loss are common, relatively few studies have explored traumatic grief in children. The 1998 American Embassy bombing in Nairobi, Kenya, provided an unfortunate opportunity to examine this topic. This report describes findings in 156 children who knew someone killed in the incident, assessed 8 to 14 months after the explosion. Bomb-related posttraumatic stress was associated with physical e…
Teachers in the Aftermath of Terrorism
Teachers are frequently expected to support children psychologically in the aftermath of mass casualty events, yet they generally have not been trained to do so. This study of a small private school in New York City reports the reactions, needs, and interests in preparedness training among teachers in response to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. By and large, teachers coped by talking to others and/or a health professional, but felt ill…
Teachers' Psychological Reactions 7 Weeks After the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing
This study assessed teachers' reactions to the Oklahoma City bombing. Peritraumatic reactions, the interaction of media exposure with stress from media coverage, feelings toward the perpetrators, and worry about safety predicted posttraumatic stress. Twenty percent reported difficulty handling demands; 5% sought counseling. Outreach efforts should assess and assist teachers
Posttraumatic stress and functional impairment in Kenyan children following the 1998 American embassy bombing
This study examined a convenience sample of 562 Nairobi school children exposed to the 1998 bombing of the American Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya. Posttraumatic stress reactions to the bombing were related to posttraumatic stress reactions to other trauma and to peritraumatic reaction. Self-reported functional impairment was minimal
