Telling It merges evidence-based strategies that are not traditionally offered all together to meet the social-emotional needs of youth. Leadership of the program has a proven track record of ongoing engagement in critical reflection of positionalities, particularly in terms of race, socioeconomic status, gender and sexuality.
Evidence Based Practices
Telling It is grounded in Evidence-Based Practice (EBP), specifically integrating principles from Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Critical Youth Empowerment (CYT). These approaches are designated as evidence-based by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) for improving symptoms of post-traumatic stress among youth.
