Trauma can be devastating to a child, impacting them for years to come. That’s why embracing trauma treatment as soon as possible is so critical. It enables the brain to properly process and work through the experiences they’ve had so they can properly heal from them. Trauma treatment at Beyond Healthcare enables a child to overcome the challenges they are facing resulting from that event, allowing them to heal and move forward.
The sooner a child receives treatment for a traumatic event, the better. This type of event can be any type of abuse (sexual, physical, emotional, or mental), as well as witnessing events such as watching a loved one die or be hurt. It may also occur when a child feels neglect for a long time, experiences a natural disaster firsthand, or otherwise experiences something that creates a significant change in their thought processes.
It’s wise to seek out child and teen mental health treatment whenever:
Treatment is always very specific to a person’s needs. Yet, working with a master clinician with specialized care and supportive resources can help in most situations. Individual therapy is a safe place for those who have experienced trauma. It enables a person to open up and talk about what they saw or experienced without needing to relive what occurred. For many, this is a critical step in the healing process.
Individual therapy can also be supported with group therapy. During group therapy, a child may learn from others how to manage what happened to them. They can begin to work on re-learning how to have relationships and interact with others. They also learn strategies for managing negative thoughts. Often, there’s a valuable bond that occurs in group therapy.
Therapies such as EMDR can also help. This type of trauma therapy enables a person to break from the memory, feelings, or visions of what happened in their day-to-day life. Through consistent use of this therapy, the traumatic experience becomes less impactful on life today. This is when a person can move beyond what happened.
One of the foundations of the success of Beyond Healthcare is providing resources to reach children and teens with comprehensive help when they need it the most.
