Changing Life's Trajectory

Visiting Therapists provide high quality, trauma-informed mental health services to youth and families involved in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. The program serves participants in the community (most often at home, but also at school or other community locations), thus providing valuable continuity of services even if the participant experiences a change of placement. The majority of participants have been victims or witnesses of abuse and neglect. Through developmentally appropriate and individualized services, VTP supports a diverse population of at-risk youth, young adults and families who may be experiencing barriers to receiving office based services. VTP services enable participants to learn to cope with past trauma, increase their ability to regulate emotions, gain insight into their actions, develop a strong and healthy sense of self, and develop hope for their futures. Come and join our team!
