Treating Child Victims of Cumulative Trauma: An Innovative Model (Poster Session 8)
Treating Child Victims of Cumulative Trauma: An Innovative Model
(Poster Session 8)
Severely traumatized children need more innovative and intensive treatment programs such as the model of intervention described in this session. A multi-systemic wraparound model of treatment proved effective with Iraqi refugee child victims of cumulative traumas. Summer day treatment and a year-round after school program with an outreach component were provided to a target population of emotionally or behaviorally disturbed Iraqi refugee children, ages 6 to 15, in Dearborn and Detroit, Michigan. Pre-post testing of the first six months for the 30 children enrolled in the program indicate significant improvement in the measures used, especially school performance.
