Approach

The P2P model of service centers on taking into account the specific needs of foster/adoptive children and their families as well as the overarching impact of trauma. These services are provided by clinicians with extensive experience working with childhood trauma and foster care and adoption related issues. Consultation services are flexible and developed around the specific needs of each family.
