Therapy that uses storytelling may be key to fighting trauma from bullying, family violence among teenagers [Buffalo.edu]

For teenagers from low-income households, trauma from bullying, parental abuse and dating violence often goes untreated, since many families can’t afford traditional therapy.

In search of a less expensive, yet effective, form of therapy, a new study led by University at Buffalo behavioral health researcher Ellen Volpe will investigate the effectiveness of narrative exposure therapy (NET) at treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance abuse among adolescents who have experienced multiple traumas.

The pilot study, “The Effectiveness of Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) for Diverse Populations Experiencing Multiple Traumas,” is funded by the Mentored Career Development Award from the National Institutes of Health’s Clinical and Translational Science Awards Program.
