In order to develop the most effective gender-specific program, STCP utilizes practice models including strengths-based, positive child development, social learning theory, cognitive-behavioral, and trauma-responsive approaches.
Our specific evidence-based and trauma-informed interventions include Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), Seeking Safety (SS), Functional Family Therapy (FFT), Motivational Interviewing and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
Throughout the youth's treatment at SCTP, and through the prescription of trauma-informed interventions, the clinical staff shall identify and observe positive behaviors, including (but not limited to) increase in problem-solving, coping and social skills as well as a reduction in trauma symptomology (e.g., nightmares, re-enactments) and a reduction in aggression toward others, self-harming behaviors, anxiety and/or depression.
