INTERVENTION

THIS SITE IS FOR TEXAS RESIDENTS ONLY

Eligibility Requirements
  • Participants are aware that participation is voluntary and they may choose to terminate  at any time for any reason.
  • Participants must be an African American, 18 years of age or older.
  • Participants must be a Texas resident (group counseling can only be provided to in state residents).
  • Participants must have experienced at least one traumatic event within the past 10 years.
  • Participants must show severity of PTSD Symptoms with a PCL-5 score of 35 or above, which indicates moderate to severe levels of  PTSD.

While participants may benefit from this study with a decline in negative emotions related to the traumatic event, participants may also be triggered by discussing the traumatic event or recalling memories of the traumatic event.  If not managed, the triggers may cause cognitive impairment, which affects normal daily functioning, including, but not limited to agitation, sleeplessness, or emotional disregulation.  Should this happen, individual counseling will be available to address any concerns.
