Memorandum to teachers
Memorandum
To: Mr. Martin
From: Mr. Jerold
Date: November 1, 2016
Re: CBITS begins Wednesday, November 12, 2016
Alison M. is fortunate to have a special counseling program for students who have experienced
stressful events in the community. We have found that students who have experienced stressful
situations often suffer from a unique kind of stress, called traumatic stress, which can impact academic,
social and emotional functioning, thereby negatively affecting school performance.
Your student, Alison has been selected to participate. We will be conducting groups one time per
week for one school period over the course of the next ten weeks. Students will be summoned for each
session for the next 10-Wednesdays at 1:00 p.m. for approximately 45 minutes. If at all possible, please
excuse her for these sessions as they are cumulative.
Thanks you,
James Jerold, School Psychologist

Screening Points

First you will need to screen for exposure to a significant
traumatic event (community violence, domestic violence, the
death of a loved one, witnessing or being involved in a car
accident)

Second you will need two measures of symptoms (PTSD and
depression) that provide validated cut-offs for scores that
indicate a significant or clinical level of severity

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy

CBT- an organized, symptom focused intervention
that includes providing skill-building techniques to
make maladaptive thoughts and behaviors more
functional

CBT is based on the idea that thoughts and
behaviors can cause negative emotions, negative
interactions, and behavior patterns

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Goals

thinking, stopping automatic negative thoughts, and
changing negative patterns of thinking)

Improving social skills

Increasing positive activities

Decreasing avoidant behaviors and thoughts
Jacox, L (2004) Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools. Sopris West Ed Services
16
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Structure

Structured sessions: agenda is set for each session
(activities review, new skills, or practice with skills, and
activity assignment)

Collaboration between patient and therapist:
therapist acts as a “coach” to help patient develop
new skills and guide with practicing

Emphasis on practice of new skills during sessions and
between sessions

Short-term interventions: to enable patient to
remember skills and to continue to practice oh
his/her own after intervention ends
Jacox, L (2004) Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools. Sopris West Ed Services
17
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

PTSD: an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to
an extreme stressor

re-experiencing the event through nightmares, and re-living
through thoughts

Avoidance of trauma reminders by avoiding thoughts,
situations, places and have emotional numbing

More irritable and have difficulty sleeping and/or focusing

What does CBITS address?

CBITS is designed to address moderate symptoms of Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Students with a diagnosis of severe PTSD can also benefit from
CBITS but it is recommended that they also receive individual
treatment


Education: students are educated on the
common reactions to stress or trauma.
With the goal of destigmatizing and
normalizing symptoms related to a stressful
or traumatic event
Jacox, L (2004) Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools. Sopris West Ed Services
21
Relaxation Training

Through controlled breathing and progressive muscle
relaxation the student learns to combat anxiety

These simple relaxation techniques are taught and
practiced periodically during treatment
Jacox, L (2004) Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools. Sopris West Ed Services
22
Cognitive Therapy

Students are taught to recognize maladaptive
thoughts

Students are taught how to combat the
maladaptive thoughts by replacing them with
more realistic appraisals of danger and
competence
Jacox, L (2004) Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools. Sopris West Ed Services
23
Real Life Exposure

Students are guided on the process of habituation by
which anxiety decreases when a feared situations are
discussed in order to reduce anxiety

Students are helped to construct a list of situations that
they fear as a situation of their traumatic experiences and
are encouraged to confront such situations in a controlled
manner with help
Jacox, L (2004) Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools. Sopris West Ed Services
24
Stress of Trauma Exposure

The students are guided to use imaginal exposure to
decrease the intense anxiety and discomfort that relate to
the traumatic event

The first exposure is to occur in during the individual
therapy session in order to provide a safe environment for
the student to share

Following exposures take place during the group through
a descriptive of the drawing
Jacox, L (2004) Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools. Sopris West Ed Services
25
Social Problem Solving

Students are taught problem-solving techniques to
control feelings of anger and impulsive behaviors

Students learn to self-regulate and to understand reality vs
distorted thoughts of reality

Role playing is used to reinforce these problem solving
skills

Program Format

Activities and assignments: activities that allow the students to
consolidate skills and learn to apply them in real life

Practice of Intervention Techniques: Students are encouraged
to practice techniques during their daily life as needed

Individual Treatment Planning: Each student has a case with
individual goals

Group Format and management: Group is held during school
hours, once per week for one hour (preferably the same week
day and time)

Materials: notebooks, pencils, drawing paper, crayons

Special Issues
Working with stress or trauma survivors require
sensitivity and patience
 Children who have been exposed to violence may
be…
 Overly cautious and have lack of trust
 Triggered easily and seem like they are provoking
adults
 Hypervigilant and scare easily
 Have experienced more than one traumatizing
event, it is recommended to focus on the event
causing more symptoms


Time to start group

Once the time and space has been allocated. It is
recommended that communication is clear at all times
