Trauma Affect Regulation Guide for Education and Therapy for Adolescents (TARGET-A) is an educational and therapeutic intervention designed to prevent and treat traumatic stress disorders (including PTSD, severe anxiety disorders, depression, and dissociative disorders), co-occurring addictive, personality, or psychotic disorders, and adjustment disorders related to other types of stressors. TARGET-A teaches a seven-step sequence of skills, the FREEDOM Steps, designed to enable participants to recognize, understand, and gain control of stress reactions by enhancing their strengths/abilities for mental focusing, mindfulness, emotion regulation, executive function, and interpersonal engagement/interaction. TARGET-A provides a systematic approach to processing traumatic and other critical memories that does not require memory processing.TARGET-A provides a manualized protocol for brief (4-session), time-limited (10-14 sessions), and extended (26+ sessions) individual, group, or couple/family education and therapy. TARGET-A can be delivered in community, outpatient, inpatient, residential treatment, shelter, workplace, correctional, or healthcare settings.
