![[Translate to Englisch:] Logo TF_KVT](/fileadmin/_processed_/b/6/csm_logo-tfkvt_0566e5efc5.png){kind=logo}
This project is about the creation of a German-language version of the US-American internet-based learning program for trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (tf-CBT web). For this purpose, the contents of the original American version will be translated and supplemented by a part that relates to work with young refugees. The learning program will later be available free of charge to therapists who want to conduct their own therapies with TF-KVT and thus contribute to the dissemination of evidence-based procedures.
Start of project: 2016

YOURTREAT - A randomized controlled psychotherapy study for trauma therapy in young refugees – Your Health cooperative outpatient clinic
YOURTREAT is one of three subprojects within the YOURHEALTH project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research that investigates the effectiveness of trauma therapy for young refugees. As one of four treatment centers, the Psychotherapeutic University Outpatient Department at the KU is participating in the randomized controlled treatment trial to test the efficacy of Narrative Exposure Therapy for Children and Adolescents (KidNET) with this specific target group.
More specifically, the goal of YOURTREAT is to find out whether treating refugee children and adolescents using KidNET leads to a reduction in symptoms of mental disorders, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder. This will compare KidNET treatment with the usual treatment of refugee children and adolescents in the German health care system.
Start of project: May 2019

Through funding from ZFM, Prof. Tetyana Kloubert (until March 2020 temporary professor of adult and non-school education; since April 2020 University of Augsburg) and Prof. Chad Hoggan (Associate Professor of Adult, Workforce, and Continuing Professional Education at NC State University, Raleigh, NC, USA) were able to implement their international research project "Education for Social Justice: Creating Possibilities of Transformative Learning for Disadvantaged Groups".
Prof. Dr. Tetyana Kloubert (until March 2020 temporary professor of adult and non-school education; since April 2020 University of Augsburg) and Prof. Dr. Chad Hoggan (Associate Professor of Adult, Workforce, and Continuing Professional Education at NC State University, Raleigh, NC, USA) are conducting research on how learning processes of migrants can be promoted so that they have a transformative effect. Within the framework of the project, an international symposium was held with renowned researchers from all over Europe on the topic of "The (Adult) Learning Needs and Challenges of Migrants and Refugees in Europe" (March 2020). In addition, an edited volume will be published in 2020 to make research work on educational processes of migrants and refugees accessible to an interested public.
