These therapists have expertise and specific training in the areas of trauma, post traumatic stress disorder, and the ADOPTS model.
Program Eligibility
Children need to be between the ages of 6 and 17 and be in an adoptive placement or in foster care and moving toward an adoption plan. Children need to have had one or more traumatic experiences (i.e. physical abuse, sexual abuse, chronic neglect, parental substance abuse, domestic violence, or traumatic losses). Children who meet these criteria will be eligible for an ADOPTS trauma assessment interview.
