Child & Youth Trauma Counselling
PEACE
Eligibility
Children and youth ages 3-18 who have experienced family violence. Must live in Vancouver.
Description
If you’re between 3 and 18, PEACE is here for you after there’s been violence between the adults at home. Maybe you’re angry, maybe you’re sad, or maybe it’s everything: that’s okay, the counsellors in this program are here for you. Our counsellors may not be able to undo what happened, but they are here to support your healing, with a big focus on reclaiming your sense of self and power. How? With play therapy, art therapy, and other counselling methods that are all led by you (your needs, your goals, and what you want). You get to choose how you show up each session, and we’re here for you on your terms as long as it’s safe. Because ultimately, that’s our goal: to make sure you have a safe, supportive place to be yourself and make sense of your experiences.

Description
The Family Trauma Program is here for your family when you need it. This program is for children, youth and caregivers who have experienced overwhelming events. Our counsellors center the work on helping you make sense of your experiences; in practice, this means learning how trauma might impact behaviour, emotions and relationships. Our counsellors support you in building coping skills, developing a stronger sense of safety and confidence, and healing at a pace that feels good to you. It’s okay if you’ve never been in counselling, we’re here to answer your questions and help you figure out what’s next.
