Trauma Systems Therapy (TST) is a revolutionary approach to supporting children and teens who have experienced trauma. In its expanded Second Edition, the seminal work "Trauma Systems Therapy For Children And Teens" provides an in-depth guide for clinicians, educators, and caregivers to effectively implement TST.

This comprehensive resource explores the foundational principles of TST, including the neurobiology of trauma, the impact of trauma on child development, and the essential elements of a trauma-informed care system. With case studies, practical exercises, and evidence-based interventions, the authors guide the reader through the multifaceted process of TST, fostering a safe and supportive environment for healing and growth.
