Hope for Children: Overcoming the Devastating Effects of Witnessing Family Violence

Description:

A strong coalition of community agencies in Raleigh, NC provides specific counseling programs for adult victims and perpetrators of domestic abuse. However, after initial crisis intervention, no mental health programs offer ongoing services to children who have witnessed family violence. To minimize the long-term psychological, social, developmental and emotional effects of exposure to violence the local agencies have now created a continuum of age-appropriate services. Case managers will conduct thorough assessments and referrals to programs such as adolescent treatment groups and will facilitate additional outreach to Spanish-speaking children. Another tailored program offers therapeutic visitations to help children spend appropriate time with a parent who is separated by court-issued restraining orders.
