The harsh truth is that even infants and toddlers face trauma. This interferes with brain development, causing these little children to react to stress on base instinct alone – by fighting, fleeing, or freezing.
- Left untreated, these issues often lead, later, to school failure, substance abuse, teen pregnancy, crime, and incarceration.
- For younger kids, we use creative arts and play therapies along with sensory-motor techniques. This encourages their agile, developing brains to reorganize and heal. And it works.
- We see it every day. Early intervention changes the trajectory of these children’s lives toward brighter futures.
