Project Title: Inside Out Counseling
Project Description:

Since 2002, the ReadyKids Inside Out Program has offered an immediate response to treatment needs of children (ages 2-18) who have experienced trauma, abuse, neglect and/or exposure to domestic violence in Charlottesville and the surrounding counties, including rural communities. In FY21, Inside Out served 250 primary victims and 210 secondary victims. The high-level outcomes for the program include:

• Children are socially/emotionally healthy and relate well to others.
• Children experience positive parent/child and family interactions.
• Children receiving services through the Inside Out program are not re-victimized.

To achieve these outcomes, the Inside Out completes the following activities: • Trauma Counselors provide counseling services to children and families who have been victims of crime and/or trauma in Charlottesville and the surrounding counties. These services are provided using evidence based treatment strategies, such as Trauma Focus Cognitve Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), as well as play and art therapy techniques. Inside Out is the only program in the ReadyKids service area to provide trauma counseling to children and youth at no-cost to the client. • Trauma Counselors complete an extensive intake assessment and individualized treatment plan. Each client is evaluated using the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) Assessment and/or the Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children, evidenced based tools, during the beginning phase of treatment and then again at discharge. • Trauma Counselors consult and collaborate with community organizations and other service providers.

All counseling services are provided at no-cost to the clients for as long as needed.

Total Project Budget: 932396
