Description
When many therapy models were created, the target audiences for effectiveness were adults who were predominantly White and did not have success with therapy in the past. White adults are not the only group of people needing mental health services and a gap has been created in the research. This proposal pushes for research to be done related to the effectiveness of solution-focused brief therapy on children of color. To measure this, children receiving services from a community mental health site that range in age from 3-17 will be included. They will be given pre and post assessments of the PSC-17, PHQ-9, and GAD-7. Based on previous research, it is indicated that solution-focused brief therapy works well for children and different cultures. Based on this the expected results would show that this model works well for children of color as well.
