To use a total of 680 children and parents to further validate those two treatments modalities.4. To develop an outreach component, which will include workshop training with parents, school and community agency personnel, and primary care providers. 5. To train mental health staff and pediatric staff throughout the Lutheran Family Health Centers' 9 primary care centers and 15 school-based health centers. 6. To identify, screen, and refer children and adolescents at high risk for traumatic stress. 7.
