Trauma affects the young brain in a much different
way. Approximately 25% of children experience trauma such as
abuse, neglect, a life-threatening accident or community violence
(Costello, et all, 2002). Sprouts is designed to help heal
from trauma, so that children can gain the skills needed and
prevent a lifetime of issues.
The program is designed to encourage improvement in all
areas of child development including social, emotional,
physical, cognitive, and school readiness. Our services
are also designed to help reduce family stress and the
need for specialized services once the child reaches
school age. The structured program and interventions
include providing the family with child development and
behavior management education and support.
