NCT ID:
NCT06038357
Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Age 8-16 years, because this age range reflects the age range in the CBITS evaluation studies, and this age range is specified in the CBITS manual and toolkit).
2. Having experienced at least one traumatic event (based on DSM-5 or ICD-10/ICD-11 criteria) as CBITS is designed for children and adolescents with a trauma history.
3. At least moderate PTSS (at least 21 points on the CATS-2) as this is recommended in the intervention manual. Participants don't have to fulfill PTSD criteria as the manual does not name this a pre-condition for participation. Additionally, there is large evidence that also youth with subthreshold PTSS show high functional impairment, but respond very well to trauma-focused interventions.
4. Being currently cared for by a child welfare program (safe and stable living conditions), planned further stay in the program for at least 12 months in order to complete the CBITS intervention and 10-month follow-up.
5. Willingness and informed assent/consent of the participant as well as informed consent of the caregiver/legal guardian to participate in the study (sufficient motivation for group intervention and compliance with the study design).
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Current psychosis for safety reasons and in because in this case another intervention another intervention has priority (same explanation for 2-4).
2. severe harm to self or others
3. severe substance disorder
4. acute suicidality
5. Severe mental retardation as there is a certain necessity of sufficient cognitive abilities to benefit from CBITS, to recall trauma memories and to create a trauma narrative.
