Children and Trauma
Parents tell us...

"I had my own trauma as a kid; I don't want that for my children."
"After all we have been through; I know my kids and I can talk about anything."
"We were afraid for a long time, now we are finally safe."
"After all of her hospitalizations, I thought she would hate doctors for the rest of her life! Now she wants to be one!"
If you need support for yourself you may call the David Romprey Warmline or 211info
