PROFESSIONALS RESPONDING TO CHILD TRAUMA

We hope this information will help you understand more about how to respond to child trauma . We also hope it will help you understand the system we use to respond to a report of abuse and trauma. Please call us at the CAC (225-343-1984) if you have questions.

Trauma occurs when a child experiences a serious injury or threat to self, witnesses a serious injury or threat to someone else, and/or experiences a violation of personal integrity such as a sexual assault.

Our goals at the BRCAC are to:

Do the best job possible in finding out what happened
Work with the child protective legal systems to help the child
Help you understand the child protective and legal systems
Help make the process as comfortable as possible for you
Help your children and family begin to heal
