| GROUPS FOR PARENTS OF TRAUMATIZED CHILDREN
|
| When a trauma occurs,
your child,
you
and your whole family
will feel the impact.

The Trauma Treatment Center offers a Parent
Group for parents whose children have been victims
of a crime such as sexual or physical assault
or a truama such as a car accident or fire.
The goal of the Parents' Group is two-fold. First, the group
provides you with practical information about trauma and its
impact on your child and your family. In addition, the group
provides you with the opportunity to share with others and get
support from parents who are in similar situations.
The Parent's Group runs for eight weeks and meets once a week
for two hours. Below is an outline of the topics that are covered.
- Introduction
to Trauma in Children: Definitions,
