Evidence-based trauma treatments have not yet been tailored to meet the needs of Asian American youth and families, who face both common and culturally unique barriers to care. Project ACCESS aims to equip bilingual, bicultural community mental health clinicians to deliver Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to Asian American youth and families, and to learn from their cultural expertise.

In partnership with a community mental health clinic in Queens, NY, clinicians will receive training and ongoing consultation in TF-CBT. Together, we will examine the feasibility, acceptability, and treatment outcomes of TF-CBT for Asian American youth ages 8–17 and their caregivers.

This project is funded by Help For Children.
