Bronx Child Trauma Support provides trauma-informed psychotherapy, crisis intervention, and court support to children and teens who have been victims of or witnesses to sexual assault, intimate partner violence, community violence, child abuse, and homicide. In the wake of violence, young people frequently experience debilitating fear and anxiety, difficulty sleeping and concentrating in school, depression, and increased risk of further victimization. Our free services, offered in English and Spanish, are designed to reduce post-traumatic stress reactions and minimize the potential for youth to become retraumatized by involvement in Family and Criminal Court proceedings. Participants learn skills to help manage their emotions and reactions to trauma, and enhance family communication.
