Comparing two group therapies for kids with medical conditions and trauma
Part of Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study compares two types of group therapy for youth ages 8–18 who have a chronic medical condition and trauma-related distress. The goal is to see which type of group helps kids feel better and handle their health challenges.
