The CBITS program is a school-based, group and individual intervention that uses cognitive-behavioral techniques. It is designed to reduce symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and behavioral problems, as well as to improve functioning, grades and attendance, peer and parent support, and coping skills.
CBITS has been used with students in grades 5–12 who have witnessed or experienced traumatic life events, such as community and school violence, accidents and injuries, physical abuse and domestic violence, and natural and human-made disasters.
CBITS is delivered by mental health professionals in school settings. CBITS is composed of 10 group sessions and one to three individual sessions with students, with optional opportunities for parent involvement and educational outreach to teachers. Since 2001, CBITS has been implemented across the United States and abroad, and it is actively disseminated through SAMHSA’s National Child Traumatic Stress Network. – From https://traumaawareschools.org/index.php/learn-more-cbits/
