Empowering Perinatal Adolescents Through Writing

WET may be an optimal treatment for pregnant or postpartum adolescents and youth with PTSD in a low resource setting. WET addresses many of the barriers above. It is delivered in just 5 sessions, with no homework, and may promote a sense of self-efficacy in adolescents and youth due to the nature of writing assignments and brief therapist involvement. It is attractive in resource-poor settings because just 10-15 min of direct therapist time per follow-up session is needed.
