The Caregiver Online Psychoeducation (COPE) Project: A Collaborative Response to the Increased Demand for Child Trauma Services

The Child Abuse Services (CAS) at Alberta Health Services previously approached our research team to collaboratively address the lengthy waitlists for children seeking to receive trauma services. Accordingly, an online module was co-developed to provide caregivers with initial resources while their child is on the waitlist. The present research will involve using qualitative research methodology to conduct focus groups with clinicians at the Child Abuse Services, caregivers, and youth over the age of 18 who have accessed the CAS to gather information on how to improve usability, feasibility, and acceptability of the Caregiver Online Psychoeducation (COPE) modules. The feedback gathered from individuals with lived experience will be incorporated to improve the modules.
