SOAR’s child treatment program is an individual and family therapy program that is formatted to allow for the unique situational and developmental needs of each child.  This format includes both family and individual assessment and treatment as well as systematic follow up to ensure that a child fully recovers from the crimes that have been committed against them.  Because a child processes traumatic information differently as he or she grows older, parents will be encouraged to make contact with our program for follow up as their child completes pertinent developmental tasks.  For example, a six year old that is raped may not be able to connect with the sexual content of her trauma until she goes into puberty at age 12 or 13.  Other children will have new memories as they mature and still others will re-experience trauma when life events mimic or recreate some of the setting involved in their initial abuse
