Trauma Task Force

Fellows of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy (ACT) from around the world were mobilized to action by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania. A Trauma Task Force was formed to disseminate information that would increase the likelihood people around the world receive the best help possible following trauma.

Research continually advances our understanding of human response to trauma. We have learned that people are resilient and most recover from trauma without any need for professional intervention. Cognitive therapy research helps us understand how to foster natural human resilience and also shows what treatment approaches are most effective for people who experience persistent trauma responses.

Here we provide information for both the public and mental health professionals regarding trauma and how to foster recovery from it. Press on the links at the left to learn more about help for adults, help for children, and a special update for mental health professionals on effective therapies for trauma.
