Our Services
Young children can benefit greatly from specialized support to help them to develop positive relationships, express their thoughts and feelings appropriately, and manage the ups and downs of daily life.
CAPE, Inc. is devoted to ensuring that each child’s individual needs are met and that his or her unique gifts and talents are developed. Serving children with a range of mental health needs is an integral part of our commitment to families.
Our Trauma-Informed Approach
A trauma-informed approach integrates awareness about trauma into all aspects of the system. It follows the 4R’s:
- Realize the widespread impact of trauma and pathways to recovery.
- Recognize trauma signs and symptoms.
- Respond by incorporating trauma awareness into program practices.
- Resist re-traumatization by minimizing unnecessary triggers.
