Help Individuals and Families Recover
The Institute for Children and Families is dedicated to
helping individuals and families recover from the effects of
early childhood traumas including abuse, neglect and family
upheaval.
Individuals who experience these traumas as children are
often left with persistent disorders, including an impaired
capacity to form healthy familial and social attachments.
Early childhood is the period during which the foundations
for trust, empathy, conscience and lifelong learning are
laid down, or during which a predisposition to violent
behavior is established.
When the effects of childhood trauma are untreated, the
impact on individuals, families and society as a whole can
be devastating.
