SCHOOL-BASED TRAUMA INTERVENTION

Children & Families First offers school-based trauma intervention programs for children ages 5-18 who have been exposed to stressful and traumatic events.

​

• BOUNCE BACK is designed for elementary school children
  
  
   

• CBITS (Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools) is used most commonly with students in grades 5 through 12.
  
   

​

By providing services to students in a school setting, obstacles such as transportation, schedule conflicts, and stigma related to mental health are removed.  Services are offered at no cost to the students' families or school.
