Summary

Youth involved in the juvenile justice system report high rates of exposure to traumatic events (\>90%) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; 20-50%). Although youth offenders are routinely assessed and referred for mental health services, few receive evidence-based interventions for PTSD. The current study evaluates an innovative approach to overcoming this problem: train front-line juvenile justice staff to deliver PTSD treatment groups. To determine the preliminary effectiveness and safety of PTSD groups delivered by juvenile justice staff, investigators will compare outcomes for youth offenders randomly assigned to receive evidence-based PTSD group treatment or treatment as usual (i.e., referral to community mental health clinic). Investigators hypothesize that PTSD groups led by justice staff will lead to significantly better youth outcomes (mental health symptoms, re-arrest) compared to treatment as usual.
