Abstract
In addition to disparities in interpersonal trauma exposures, Black youth in the U.S. experience the compounding stress of racial trauma, both of which are associated with a disproportionate mental health burden. Black youth also face barriers to engaging with trauma-specific therapies to address trauma-related mental health problems, with research suggesting that they are less likely to complete trauma-specific treatment. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based therapy for trauma-related mental health problems in youth ages 3 to 18. Metzger and colleagues (2021) proposed a set of cultural considerations for Black families to address racial stressors and enhance engagement in TF-CBT. The aim of the current multiple case study was to demonstrate the utility of group-delivered TF-CBT integrating these considerations for a single telehealth group of Black adolescents and their caregivers. We describe the intervention, patient engagement and clinical outcomes, and feedback from families regarding their experience with the group model. We also outline clinical and implementation challenges and highlight directions for future research and clinical practice.
