Psychiatric News (9/25) reports a systematic review of 25 school-based interventions found that “two school-based trauma intervention programs – Enhancing Resiliency Amongst Students Experiencing Stress (ERASE-Stress) and Teaching Recovery Techniques (TRT) – were found to have a high level of evidence for effectiveness.” The eligible studies “tested the intervention effects on posttraumatic stress and other mental health outcomes, including depression, anxiety, psychological distress, conduct problems, and other internalizing or externalizing symptoms.” ERASE-Stress and TRT were “rated as having a high level of evidence.” Meanwhile, “four interventions met criteria for a moderate level of evidence: Bounce Back, Classroom-Based Intervention, Support for Students Exposed to Trauma, and a selective intervention for Israeli children exposed to violence.” The review was published in Psychiatric Services.
