Child Witness to Violence Project

The Child Witness to Violence Project is a counseling and support program for young children ages 0 to 8 and their families who have been affected by violence and other trauma. Goals of the project include: 1) To identify young children who witness acts of significant violence. 2) To help young children heal from the trauma of witnessing violence by providing developmentally appropriate counseling for them and for their families. 3) To provide consultation and training to the network of caregivers in the lives of young children in order that they may more effectively help children who are exposed to violence.
