About Center for Child and Family Traumatic
Situated close to Johns Hopkins Hospital, this outpatient facility serves children and young adults aged 2 to 21, along with their families, to aid in recovering from trauma. The program addresses issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and stress resulting from abuse, neglect, and violence. The environment is designed to foster emotional healing and strengthen community ties for families.
The dedicated team employs various therapeutic methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and parent-child interaction therapy, to assist young individuals in managing their emotions and regaining a sense of security. Their approach integrates verbal communication, physical activity, and play-based techniques alongside active involvement from caregivers. Each treatment framework prioritizes emotional regulation and the development of healthy interpersonal connections.
The clinic also offers services tailored to Spanish-speaking families, support for children with developmental challenges, and trauma-informed care for youths with a history of early childhood abuse. Through family sessions, mindfulness activities, and group support initiatives, the center promotes resilience and paves the way for a safer future for both children and their families.
