Trauma Program
The Trauma Program nurtures connection and safety in the caregiver-child relationship after experiencing trauma.
What happens in this program?
Children and youth are supported through three streams:
- Outpatient Trauma Clinic
The outpatient clinic offers one-on-one and family therapy appointments. - Trauma and Attachment Group (TAG)
TAG is a structured year-long support group for children/teens and their caregivers. - Consultative Services
This stream provides trauma consultation to other CASA programs.
Who is this program for?
This program is for children and teens ages five to 17 with complex developmental trauma or attachment issues. They may be having significant challenges in their daily routine.
Children must be in a stable home for at least six months prior to service, and must not be actively involved in a court case and/or custody dispute or scheduled to be involved in a court case in the near future.
Families must live in the Edmonton area or Calgary.
How do I access this program?
Children must be connected to a mental health therapist or psychiatrist at the time of referral. These professionals can be from Recovery Alberta, CASA or a private practice. Please speak to your professional about a referral and direct them to the below form.
CASA’s Trauma program is now accepting referrals for Calgary families.
