Summary

Participants need video chat tech with internet and webcam. Those in immediate danger to themselves/others or already receiving treatment can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests an adapted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT-TS) for Deaf individuals with certain mental health issues. It's a single-arm pilot trial where participants receive the therapy and then report on their willingness to seek professional treatment along with changes in their mental health symptoms.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since CBT-TS is a form of therapy involving talking and behavior strategies rather than medication, it typically doesn't have physical side effects. However, discussing traumatic experiences may temporarily increase distress.
