The Children’s Domestic Violence Response Team is a supportive behavioral health service program for children and youth, and their non-abuser parents, who have witnessed or are themselves survivors of domestic violence.
Children, youth and their non-abuser parents (any race, gender, religion, sexual orientation) struggling with trauma, behavioral health or substance abuse from domestic violence who want to improve their health and wellness, live better lives and reach their full potential.
SOUND team members who provide CDVRT services are specially trained in a trauma-informed approach to recovery for those who have experienced domestic violence and / or abuse. They work collaboratively with three local domestic violence agencies: DAWN, LifeWire and New Beginnings to coordinate care for those who have experienced domestic violence and have complex needs for behavioral support.
Studies show that the strongest risk factor for passing violent behavior from one generation to the next is witnessing domestic violence in the home. By providing safe mental health and trauma-informed services to child and youth survivors of domestic violence, SOUND strives to break that cycle. We treat children and youth clients with empathy, making them feel safe, seen, heard, validated, and empowered. Services are recovery-oriented and focus on helping individuals gain stability, personal growth, and resilience, by giving them the tools necessary for long-term self-direction.
