N2  - Clinical practice and research indicate an important role for family-based interventions for child traumatic stress. However, the field lags behind family-based intervention science for other childhood mental health problems and individual treatment for child traumatic stress. This study describes the current practice of family-based interventions for child traumatic stress across a national network of programs serving traumatized children. Although most programs delivered at least one family-based intervention, less than a third of interventions identified had a treatment manual, and few had data to support intervention efficacy. More detailed information is needed on matching the family-based interventions to clinical contexts, establishing effective family engagement strategies, identifying culturally specific adaptations, as well as developmentally matched protocols for child traumatic stress.
