Child and Family Traumatic Stress Intervention (CFTSI)

This is a brief intervention model aimed at strengthening families with children and adolescents from 7 to 18 years of age, implemented shortly after a potentially traumatic event or the disclosure of episodes of physical and sexual abuse.
The goal is to reduce symptoms and prevent the development of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in children, as well as to improve the ability of adult caregivers to cope with symptoms through increased symptom awareness, communication skills, and coping strategies for traumatic reactions.

Cognitive-Processing Therapy for Female Victims of Sexual Assault

This is a cognitive behavioral program designed to treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in victims of sexual assault. The objective is to restructure unbalanced thoughts directly related to the trauma.
The therapeutic technique is manualized and conducted in 12 sessions. Sessions focus on distorted beliefs (such as denial and guilt), as well as overgeneralized beliefs about self and the world. Victims are also exposed to their traumatic experience by writing detailed incident reports and reading them aloud to their therapists.

Ready, Willing, and Able (RWA)

This is a transitional residence program that provides employment for people who have recently left incarceration. The goal is to prevent recidivism through guaranteed employment, income, housing, and financial stability. Program participants must be accepted into foster care facilities managed by the Department of Homelessness Services and undergo medical and psychiatric evaluations. The intervention consists of bimonthly meetings with a case manager, where an individualized transition and independence plan is developed, and adherence to the program is assessed.

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)

This is an intervention for children aged 2 to 12 and their parents or caregivers. It focuses on reducing children’s externalizing behavior problems (e.g., aggressive or challenging behaviors), increasing positive parenting behaviors, and improving the quality of parent-child relationships.
It teaches therapeutic skills to parents to improve interactions and problem-solving, as well as to develop skills to manage new behavioral problems.

The Family Growth Center (FGC)

This is a community-based family support program for teenage mothers aged 13 to 17 and their children from 0 to 2 years old. The objective is to prevent repeat pregnancy and school dropout by teenage mothers, as well as to improve parenting and study skills, and the personal development of mothers and babies.

Families Actively Improving Relationships (FAIR)

This treatment adopts a behavioral approach and is aimed at families with substance use problems who are subject to the supervision of child protection institutions. The goal is to reduce child maltreatment, improve parenting skills, reduce drug abuse and psychopathological symptoms, and prevent institutional separation of parents and children.
The treatment is carried out in a flexible manner, through home visits, meetings in community centers, schools and/or shelters, so that parents have greater possibilities to participate in the process and achieve good results.
