Research: 

Dr. Barron’s study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Progressive Counting (PC), for addressing childhood trauma, a novel and promising trauma therapy that uniquely integrates cognitive behavioral and brief-exposure approaches. Identifying effective therapies for detained youth offers the promise of breaking the cycle of transgenerational trauma and facilitating resilience at individual, familial, and community levels. Dr Barron is currently the principle investigator for trauma recovery projects running in the Middle East and Brazil. Dr Barron's partners include the Children and War Foundation, Bergen, The Center for Applied Research in Education (CARE), Ramallah, and Dr Ricky Greenwald, and the Child Trauma Institute in the U.S.
