FAMILY TRAUMA
SERVICES' SPECIALIZED TREATMENT PROGRAMS:
ADOLESCENT SEX OFFENDER PROGRAM
Family Trauma Services offers specialized treatment for male, female and cognitive low functioning adolescent offenders. ASO treatment is provided while maintaining the offender's placement at home or in the community. This program is designed to provide services to individuals and families with an identified sexual abuse perpetrator. Treatment focuses on promoting insight into sexually inappropriate behavior and teaching the youth pro-social behaviors. As youth progress through the curriculum they become familiar with the laws and consequences of inappropriate sexual behavior as well as their own individual behavioral cycles which put them at risk of re-offending. Emphasis is placed on assisting the youth with accepting responsibility for their actions by confronting their defenses and on learning new social and sexual skills which will enable them to have positive, satisfying relationships with others.
POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS
Family Trauma Services
offers specialized treatment for Children/Adolescents who have experienced physical, sexual or emotional abuse and/or neglect while maintaining the child/adolescent at home or in the community. This program is designed to provide services to individuals and families in which an identified stressor, such as abuse, neglect, loss or separation has resulted in a variety of difficulties in behavior, mood or perceptions for the child. Services attempt to foster positive and age appropriate relationships with adults and peers. Skills in recognizing the relationship between the traumatic event and maladaptive behavior are highlighted. Services focus on identifying and providing increased social support. This program aims to help the youth regain control over their emotions and decrease negative behaviors and negative affect.
TRANSITION/AFTERCARE PROGRAM
The most crucial time for adolescents and families may not necessarily be the situations that lead to hospitalization, residential care or incarceration but rather what happens when the child returns home. That is when the fears and anxieties are the worst and expectations that everything is fixed are the highest. Unfortunately, the same dynamics of environment that lead to placement are frequently still there and even though the adolescent may know what puts her/him at risk s/he may not have a support base that helps to reinforce the changes that s/he has made. This program is designed to provide services to individuals and families in which a family member has been in a hospital, residential treatment program, correctional institution or foster care placement. Services focus on the skills necessary to successfully transition back into the home, school, and community, including independent living skills, social skills, anger management, problem solving, vocational education, relapse prevention, self-development, decision making, and value clarification.
