Annual Research Review: Interventions for young children exposed to trauma
Overview
This review synthesizes evidence-based interventions for children aged 0–8 years exposed to trauma, emphasizing the need for treatments tailored to early developmental stages rather than scaled-down adult protocols. It identifies specific modalities with empirical support for different age groups, such as Child–Parent Psychotherapy for infants and toddlers, while noting gaps in resources for children under three and those experiencing noninterpersonal trauma. The resource outlines future research priorities, including diverse sampling and implementation studies, to improve dissemination in community settings.
