What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The goal of this project is to test the feasibility and acceptability of a common elements intervention delivered by community mental health workers for adults with a history of adverse childhood experiences. "Common elements" interventions build cognitive, emotional, interpersonal, and behavioral skills to help address trauma-related distress and build resilience. This will be accomplished using a randomized control trial with Apache adults ages 25-65 with recent suicidal behaviors, self-injurious behaviors, and/or binge substance use.
