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). Some children may recover, and some have no choice but to lead a life filled mental, physical, and emotional difficulties while struggling with the most basic life skills. Sprouts is designed to help reverse the damage, 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. Read our recent press release.
