Trauma-Informed Care Emerging as Proven Treatment for Children, Adults with Behavioral, Mental Health Problems - Natl Ctr for Youth Law

Chris Engel 10/4/129:32 PM

"One model of trauma-informed care, implemented by Project Hope of the District of Columbia, targets girls ages 12 through 18. Girls who have experienced or witnessed physical, sexual, emotional, or community violence are placed in "trauma groups," where they discuss the challenges they face. Each group consists of eight to 10 girls. The idea is that by talking about their situations and working through their issues, the girls can focus on building relationships."
