Adelphoi Village provides PTSD services to adolescents with a history of trauma and identified and documented symptoms of PTSD. The PTSD services program offers extensive PTSD and trauma-related behavioral interventions that are used throughout the state of Pennsylvania in treating PTSD in adolescents.
Interventions such as workbooks, art therapy, journaling, and the Pennsylvania Residential Treatment Curriculum are used to assist with decreasing the severity, frequency, and duration of symptoms experienced by the client.
The PTSD Services Worker serves as a professional support for the family in educating and increasing awareness of the impact of trauma and PTSD on the family system.
The primary objectives of the program are to provide an effective reintegration program; prevent further out-of-home placement; increase school attendance and performance of youth; improve involvement in family; and reduce the overall dependency of the youth and families on county, state and private social service organizations.
