Trauma-Focused Treatment

Volunteers of America, Dakotas offers Trauma-Focused Treatment designed for children and adolescents ages 4-17 and their families who have been impacted by difficult and confusing events with a focus on those who have experienced multiple Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and/or COVID-related trauma. Treatment can be delivered at our location or via telehealth.

During Trauma-Focused Treatment, an initial screening and assessment will take place to determine if services are appropriate. Therapists will develop a treatment plan tailored to the needs and circumstances of each youth who qualifies. This service can address a multitude of circumstances including: 

  • COVID-related trauma 
  • Physical, sexual and emotional abuse 
  • Witness of violence
  • Household incarceration 
  • Family substance abuse or mental illness 
  • Parent separation or divorce 
  • Medical, Grief or Refugee Trauma 
  • Bullying, Neglect, Disasters and more

Certain services may be accessible through telehealth.
