Trauma therapy and counselling
At Footsteps, we provide assessment and support for children (and adults) who have experienced interpersonal traumas. This includes witnessing domestic violence, physical and sexual abuse, separation from a caregiver, and community violence.
Our services include:
- Child-parent psychotherapy
- Perinatal child-parent psychotherapy
- Co-parenting child-parent psychotherapy
- Trauma-focused screening and assessment
- Crisis intervention
- Case management and concrete assistance with problems of living
What does trauma therapy involve?
The initial assessment involves meetings with the primary caregiver and then the child. The assessment offers the primary caregiver an opportunity to share the following types of information:
-
- Potentially traumatic and stressful events the child has experienced
- The child’s symptoms
- Ways the event may have affected the child’s relationship with family members
- The experience and symptoms of caregivers who are important to the child
Information gathered during the assessment helps us to develop a support plan tailored to the needs of each family.
