Trauma Resilience Understanding & Education (TRUE) Center

It’s common for family members to have questions about whether their child’s behavior and reactions following a traumatic experience are “typical.” TRUE Center, a new non-profit focused on increasing access to trauma-focused, evidence-based care for children and families, wants to help answer those questions.

TRUE Center, based in Washington D.C., offers intervention and prevention services to children and families who have experienced trauma, regardless of their ability to pay. These services include consultations to answer caregivers’ questions about their child’s reactions to trauma, treatment for children and families who have experienced trauma, and free education and training to parents and communities. TRUE’s clinicians are experts in time-limited treatments that are evidence based, meaning they have been shown to work. TRUE Center will begin clinical services in Fall 2022.
