Program Goals/Outcomes
1. Help the child regain areas of his/her development that are lacking through developmental re-tracking.
2. Equip the family system to be the curative agent for the child’s healing process so that healing happens in the home environment within the context of the parent/child relationship.
3. Reduce the stress in the child’s life to ensure the child is working within the stress level most optimal to the child’s nervous system.
4. Allow past traumatic experiences and the stored up survival energy from the trauma to be dissipated with the support of the parents interactions in everyday life.
5. Build the child’s window of stress tolerance to equip the child to function appropriately outside of the home environment.
6. Equip parents with love-‐based parenting techniques that de-‐escalate negative behaviors through boundaries, regulation, and emotionally safe interactions.
7. Empower parents to understand their own reactivity when raising a child who resonates at a high level of stress and overwhelm.
8. Help parents identify associational connections to their own childhoods that may be triggering them.
9. Create a healing environment in the home for the child to learn the importance of the family structure and to have positive, patterned, and successful experiences within a family system.
10. Re-‐build the child’s belief system that the world is safe and that the child is lovable, worthy, and deserving of unconditional love.
