Brief Description:(The information in this program outline is provided by the program representative and edited by the CEBC staff.)
The I Feel Better Now! Trauma Intervention Program has been reviewed by the CEBC in the area of Trauma Treatment for Children, but lacks the necessary research evidence to be given either a Scientific Rating or a Child Welfare Relevance Rating. The I Feel Better Now! Trauma Intervention Program is a comprehensive trauma intervention program modified from the original Structured Sensory Intervention for Traumatized Children, Adolescents and Parents (SITCAP) program initially researched in 2001. The I Feel Better Now! Trauma Intervention Program is a 10-session group program designed specifically for at-risk, traumatized children, ages 6-12. The I Feel Better Now! Trauma Intervention Program integrates cognitive strategies with sensory/implicit strategies. The I Feel Better Now! Trauma Intervention Program is designed to alter the iconic memories of trauma to allow children the opportunity to achieve the successful cognitive reordering of their traumatic experiences. This sensory-based intervention, which is followed by cognitive or explicit strategies, supports victim to survivor thinking, changes in negative behaviors allow traumatized children to become more resilient.
