A central goal is to support and strengthen the caregiver-child relationship for restoring and protecting the child's social and emotional health.

Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)

The parents wear ear buds as the therapist provides in-the-moment coaching that supports the parent in learning skills to strengthen the connection and attachment between the parent and child, and decrease the frequency of challenging behavior.

Play Therapy

• Play is the natural language of children. Staff use play to assist them in coping with emotional stress or trauma. In play therapy, children are given the opportunity to express themselves through art play, sand play, dramatic play and fantasy play.

• By playing with intentionally selected materials, the child plays out their feelings, bringing hidden emotions to the surface where they can face them and learn to cope with them. Through play, the therapist can help change the experiences or outcomes of scary, frustrating or disappointing experiences. Therapeutic play helps children build their strength and skills to deal with challenging situations.
