The effects of parental arrest and incarceration on a child’s development are profound and potentially lifelong.
Children and adolescents of incarcerated parents are at a higher risk for developing and suffering from adverse social, emotional and behavioral challenges. These obstacles can cause a significant disruption of the daily lives of our children and their families. With the therapeutic services offered, the participants of our program are given the opportunity to develop healthy coping mechanisms. By mastering these skills our children and families are provided the capacity to appropriately reach their full potential.
A mental health based intervention allows Children of Promise, NYC to therapeutically address our children’s traumatic experiences. By attending to each child’s needs and history we can provide individualized treatment plans. These incorporate a focus on the development of secure and adaptive behaviors and skills.
