Mental Health Services
Mental health care is a vital step in healing and reigniting the bright light of childhood.
Trauma from child abuse can have a devastating impact on kids and their families.Â
Mission Kids connects kids and their families with mental health providers who are kid-friendly and trauma-focused.
To help restore their sense of safety, kids will receive evidence-supported mental health treatment, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).
Providers can meet on-site at Mission Kids Child Advocacy Center at both our East Norriton and Pottstown locations, virtually, or at local partner agencies.
Why choose trauma-informed, evidence-based therapy?
- Allows children to feel safe in their world again by helping them understand and manage their feelings about what they've been through.
- Helps kids learn ways to manage stress and relax when they're feeling overwhelmed by unhappy thoughts or physical sensations caused by trauma.
- Guides children in sorting out any mistaken or confusing thoughts they might have about what happened to them and why.
- Helps parents understand how their children react to trauma and teaches them how to respond in nurturing and sensitive ways.
