CHILDREN WHO WITNESS VIOLENCE (CWWV) PROGRAM
Children who have witnessed violence receive short term trauma therapy services. The goal of the program is to help the child overcome the trauma of violence and to minimize the effects of exposure to violence on the child. Families are also linked with helpful community resources. For more information contact Sara Sweet at the Children's Advocacy Center at 419.460.3835. |
