TARGET is a strengths-based, present-centered, educational/psychotherapeutic intervention designed to prevent and treat traumatic stress disorders. The manualized program comprises a seven-step sequence of skills based on a psychobiological metamodel, the FREEDOM Steps, designed to enable participants to recognize, understand, and gain control of stress reactions by enhancing their adaptive capacities for emotion regulation, mental focusing, executive function, mindfulness, and engagement.
