Description
MAJOR FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The staff of the Family Violence Prevention Project is charged with the responsibility of expanding the capacity of existing services to prevent future domestic violence by addressing in an appropriate manner, the needs of children 0 to 5 exposed to family violence. Children and youth exposed to domestic violence need culturally relevant, trauma-informed, evidence-informed, and developmentally appropriate services to address the trauma they have experienced and to break the cycle of violence. Through the use of the evidence based model Incredible Years we will support parents in recognizing and addressing their child's behavior that is an expression of trauma. Through the support of Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) in our Article 31 community mental health clinic, we will support children by addressing their trauma experience.
