About The Whole Child
The Whole Child is dedicated to aiding children who are experiencing trauma and stress, while also tackling the issue of childhood obesity. This center offers holistic care tailored to the needs of children and provides essential assistance to parents, guiding them through various challenges to promote overall mental and physical health.
Utilizing a research-driven framework, the center incorporates trauma-informed therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to support emotional and psychological healing. Early interventions are crucial in preventing and addressing socio-emotional difficulties, and their parenting initiatives aim to foster family connections, minimizing the risk of abuse, thereby giving children a positive foundation for their future.
Additionally, they feature specialized programs like Parent Enrichment services, which assist parents in forming secure attachments with their children from infancy through age five. Nutrition education and programs promoting physical activity are also available, focusing on preventing childhood obesity by encouraging healthy lifestyle choices and active living to mitigate the impacts of obesity.
