When a child experiences abuse or witnesses a violent crime, their life changes. Often, children feel scared and confused about what happens next. Non-offending family members are wrestling with their own mix of emotions and can find it difficult to know what steps to take next.

When a child enters the foster care system, they enter into a world of unknowns. Where will I live today? When will I see my parents? Who are these strangers asking questions about me and my family? Lots of things are changing in a child’s life during this time.

At the Children's Advocacy Network, our licensed mental health professionals specialize in assessing and treating symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) using Evidence-Based Treatments (EBTs). We understand every child is unique, so we select the treatment that best fits each child's individual needs.
