Day One New York, Inc., NY
Day One—New York City’s leading provider of clinical, legal, leadership development, and preventive education services to youth who are victims of intimate partner violence—in close partnership with Sanctuary for Families (Sanctuary), will adapt, implement, and evaluate the FamilySafe Project Adolescent and Young Adult Adaptation specifically for young, abused parents and their children. This adaptation builds on the success of Sanctuary’s SSAPC-funded FamilySafe clinical model, while making strategic and developmentally responsive adaptations to better serve the unique and complex needs of young survivors and their children.
The main objectives of this project are:
-To strengthen and secure the parent-child attachment between adolescent and young adult abused parents and their children.
-To reduce the shared and individual trauma symptoms of young, abused parents and their children.
-To expand and diversify the coping and safety strategies used by these young families.
-To improve the overall relational, social, and emotional well-being of these young families.
