THE TRAUMA-FOCUSED COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY(TF-CBT) MODEL IS AN EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT DESIGNED TO HELP KIDS OVERCOME THE EFFECTS OF A TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE.

THE WORK WITH PARTNERS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, CHILD WELFARE AND CHILD-SERVING-AGENCIES, AND THE MEDICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH COMMUNITY MEANS THAT THE CENTERS CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION INITIATIVES REACH EVERY CORNER OF CLACKAMAS COUNTY. TARGETED OUTREACH EFFORTS TO INDIVIDUALS FROM BUSINESS, CIVIC AND FAITH-BASED GROUPS ONLY ADD TO THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE BECOMING CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION ACTIVISTS.BECAUSE SO MANY EVALUATIONS INVOLVE A CHILD WHO HAS BEEN SEXUALLY ABUSED, THE CENTER HAS MADE THIS ISSUE A HIGH PREVENTION PRIORITY.
