Evidence-based treatment for children in child welfare
Stambaugh, L., Burns, BJ., Landsverk, J., & Reutz, JR. (2007). Evidence-based treatment for children in child welfare. Focal Point, 21(1), 12-15. https://www.pathwaysrtc.pdx.edu/pdf/fpW0704.pdf
Many children in the child welfare system exhibit behaviors or social competency problems warranting mental health care. Studies of children
in foster care suggest at least 50% meet criteria for a mental health diagnosis. Often, these difficulties are related to trauma they have experienced. This paper presents a review of the research evidence for trauma-focused interventions for children and adolescents. The goal is to provide guidance about effective strategies for addressing emotional and behavioral problems associated with trauma.
RTI shares its evidence-based research - through peer-reviewed publications and media - to ensure that it is accessible for others to build on, in line with our mission and scientific standards.
