One of the things that Children of Trauma are often provided, when they are adopted through social services, is a therapist. Therapy is critical to these kids helping work there way though issues that may have occurred even before the child could speak. These services are normally already arranged wtih another organization that has therapists and psychiatrists that will take Medicaid. But unfortunately there is often regular turn over of therapists as they "cut their teeth" and move onto bigger things. The net result for the child is losing a therapist fairly regularly.

Different kinds of therapies and medications alone or in combination can help kids who have been abused and/or neglected achieve some level of "normal" while they slowly heal in a new home.

Parents of Children of Trauma are often faced with PTSD, ADHD, DID, RAD, and other disorders. They are faced with helping shepherd these kids through a cycle of trust and healing.

What kinds of therapies and/medications have helped you help your kids? What led you to make the decisions you have made in your child's care?
