This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)—a proven treatment for trauma—works even better when combined with activities that help young people build social connections and learn from their community. The study will compare the standard therapy approach with an enhanced version that includes these extra social components, for youth ages 10–15 who have experienced abuse or neglect.
While standard trauma therapy has helped many young people recover from abuse, it wasn't designed to address the extra challenges faced by teens living in high-stress communities where poverty, violence, or other hardships are common. This trial aims to see if adding community and social support components helps the therapy work better for these young people.

You would attend therapy sessions at the University of Rochester Medical Center, where you'd work with a therapist trained in trauma treatment. Depending on which group you're in, you'll either receive standard therapy or the same therapy plus activities focused on building connections with peers and learning about community strengths. You'll also complete some questionnaires and assessments to help researchers understand how well the treatment is working for you.
