House of New Hope - Licking County

For decades, evidence has shown an undeniable connection between childhood trauma and chronic adverse reactions across the lifespan. Childhood traumatic experiences are associated with serious and persistent, long-term physical, psychological, and substance abuse issues. In addition to adverse effects on physical health, research indicates that early childhood trauma has particularly adverse effects on adolescent self-esteem, coping skills, school performance, self-regulation, critical thinking, self-motivation, and the ability to build healthy relationships. House of New Hope specializes in Trauma Informed Treatment Foster Care... considered the gold standard in child welfare and mental health practice. ​Each child’s needs are carefully assessed to establish individualized programming and matching to a treatment foster home qualified to meet his or her emotional, developmental, behavioral and/or medical needs. Healing foster parents are trained in Trauma-Informed Parenting principles.
