Publications
CRT’s research publications not only provide scholarly insights and evidence-based practices but also emphasize the unique developmental needs and challenges faced by young individuals. Our publications contribute to the field of mental health and expand the knowledge base related to childhood trauma, developmental disorders, and effective therapeutic interventions. They serve as critical tools for educators, caregivers, and mental health professionals, offering strategies for early intervention, support systems, and policy recommendations to foster healthy emotional and psychological development in youth.
