Early Intervention After Traumatic Exposure in Children and Adolescents

CFTSI is a family-centered intervention lasting five to eight sessions, aiming to strengthen parental support for the child by facilitating the identification of the child's typical responses to traumatics events, improving communication between the child and the parent, and teaching coping strategies and behavioral interventions to both parents and children to reduce acute post-traumatic reactions.

non-specific psychological support therapy, focused on the child rather than the family, and aimed at supporting the child and strengthening their daily adaptation. This support therapy is already integrated into the standard practice of the CRPOCC, but will be conducted by psychotherapists from the Montpellier University Hospital who are not trained in CFTSI, to ensure a consistent format that facilitates comparisons between the two groups. The number of sessions may be increased to a total of eight sessions if the clinician determines that additional aspects need to be addressed during the sessions.
