Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Group Counseling
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an emotional and psychological reaction to trauma. It is well known that trauma can have a devastating and lasting effect. The goal of the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder group is too help youth learn how the trauma they experienced affected them, address the emotions associated with the trauma and develop skills to move beyond the traumatic event(s).
Group leaders have undergone intensive training in leading the PTSD group and have been certified to lead by the Pennsylvania Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Project. This project was developed and funded by the State to address PTSD in girls in residential treatment. A Post Traumatic Stress Disorder screening is completed on all youth who enter our care.
