Preface
ese materials were adapted from a manualized group program called the Cognitive-Behav-
ioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools, or CBITS, which was developed and initially eval-
uated in the Los Angeles Unified School District. at program was developed for use by
school-based mental health professionals, whereas the Support for Students Exposed to Trauma
(SSET) program, the subject of this book, can be used by any school personnel with the time
and interest to work with students affected by trauma.
To adapt and develop the SSET program for teachers and school counselors, we consulted
with school and mental health experts, conducted focus groups with school staff and parents,
and used their feedback to develop the program and pilot test it in two Los Angeles Unified
School District middle schools. Results of the pilot test were promising, showing that teachers
and school counselors were able to deliver the program as desired, that students and parents
were satisfied with the support groups, and that children showed small improvements in their
distress symptoms.

Glossary of Terms
Brainstorming e act of eliciting any idea that pops into one’s head
that may be relevant to the situation. Should include all
thoughts without judgment.
Distraction e act of engaging in one behavior to take one’s mind off
another. May be used to help one endure anxiety during an
exposure or as an option for managing a difficult social sit-
uation. Examples of distraction include listening to music,
talking to a friend, playing a video game, thinking about
something else, and watching TV or a movie.
Fear ermometer A tool for describing levels of negative feelings (e.g., fear,
anxiety, worry, nervousness, upset) on a scale from 0 to
10, where 0 is “no problem at all; feeling good,” and 10 is
“feeling maxed out; the worst.” Provides a common lan-
guage for group members to describe and monitor their
feelings; allows the group leader to gain insight into and
monitor changes in an individual’s anxiety levels.
Helpful thoughts oughts that are based on a realistic assessment of the
situation, including checking the objective facts, conduct-
ing an assessment of the most reasonable explanation, and
reviewing the history of similar occurrences.
Positive images Ideas or mental pictures that are associated with feelings
of happiness, contentment, tranquility, calm, and relax-
ation. Individuals may imagine themselves in a setting
or situation that conjures these emotions, or they may
simply imagine a picture that reminds them of this state of
relaxation.
Problem solving e act of figuring out ways to best manage difficult situ-
ations. Includes brainstorming solutions, evaluating all
proposed options, implementing the strategy deemed best
to reach individual goal while maintaining the safety of all
involved, and limiting negative associated consequences.
viii Support for Students Exposed to Trauma: The SSET Program
Relaxation Exercise(s) directed at reducing physiological arousal/ten-
sion. May include deep breathing, progressive muscle tens-
ing and relaxing, and positive visual imagery.
Social support Care provided to an individual by another person (e.g., a
family member, a friend, a neighbor, a teacher).
SSET Support for Students Exposed to Trauma.
ought stopping e deliberate act of willing oneself to stop a current
thought. Typically done by visualizing a stop sign, saying
“Stop!” out loud or to oneself, or doing something else
that serves as a cue to stop the thought (such as snapping
a rubber band or banging one’s hand on a table, book, or
desk).
Trauma narrative An individual’s relating of the story of his or her traumatic
experience. A written, verbal, or pictorial expression of the
occurrences that comprised one’s traumatic event.
Trauma/traumatic event An event that is sudden and frightening and that poses
a threat of injury or death to oneself or others. Usually
makes an individual feel terrified, horrified, or helpless
when it is happening.
Unrealistic thoughts oughts that are not based on available objective evidence
and may not be reasonable for the situation or context.
