Award Summary:

Funds are being used to establish onsite trauma-focused mental health services at Hero’s Haven Child Advocacy Center, expanding access to evidence-based therapy for children impacted by abuse and neglect. This investment supports the addition of a full-time Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provider, reducing barriers such as long waitlists, transportation challenges, and limited availability of specialized care. Resources fund advanced training, certification, and supervised clinical experience to transition an existing staff member into a licensed therapeutic role. By embedding trauma-focused therapy within the child advocacy center model, the initiative ensures seamless, coordinated care and improves healing outcomes for children and families across Harrison, Doddridge, Taylor, and Barbour Counties.
