Background: Early trauma exposure can have long-term negative health effects. Few young children receive evidence-based trauma treatment. This article explores the feasibility of implementing Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), an evidence-based intervention, in rural public health agencies.
Method: Twenty-three clinicians across four agencies were trained. Training outcomes and implementation barriers and facilitators were assessed.
Results: One hundred twelve client-caregiver dyads began the year-long treatment; 50% are currently enrolled or have completed treatment. Barriers and facilitators to implementation were identified.
Conclusions: CPP is feasible to implement in rural community mental health agencies. Important lessons were learned related to planning, implementation, and sustainability.

Treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in young children (ages 0-6) should be adapted to their developmental characteristics: to their cognitive, social, and emotional abilities, to their specific trauma reactions and adjustments, and finally, to their degree of dependency on adults. Due to the lack of official recommendations for the treatment of PTSD in young children and considering the high prevalence of PTSD among this population, there is a growing need for targeted psychological interventions and psychotherapies for the youngest children with PTSD or posttraumatic symptoms. To provide an update on effective psychological interventions available for the treatment of PTSD and posttraumatic symptoms in young children (under the age of 6).
