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 and changes in negative behaviors, and allows traumatized children to become more resilient.
