Houston, Texas
Subtitle Text
The Harvey Resiliency and Recovery Program, a partnership initiative between Children’s Health Fund and Texas Children’s Hospital, was created to serve the needs of many children and families in Houston adversely affected by Hurricane Harvey and its aftermath. The Harvey Resiliency and Recovery Program addresses the mental health needs of those who survived Hurricane Harvey and were exposed to trauma-related risk factors that research indicates is likely to predispose them to long-term mental, emotional and physical consequences.
Serving Communities in Need
Situated in The Trauma and Grief Center, a CAT II site of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, in Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston,, the Harvey Resiliency and Recovery Program will evaluate traumatized and/or bereaved youth between the ages of 7 and 17 and provide ongoing evidence-based treatments to those youth requiring intervention.
