In 2017, a quarter blue saw the need for a full-trauma recovery center, so started the shift to open doors to all victims of crime-related trauma. The department of justice estimates over 5. 4 million people over the age of 12 experience violent crime annually in the us, failing to calculate trauma younger children endure. Approximately 50% of those who survive trauma experience psychological or social difficulties unless they are given some form of effective treatment (breslau et al. , 1991). A quarter blue provides a calming, safe, and non-judgmental environment for clients who have experienced violent crime. Early intervention is essential to help crime survivors deal with the immediate consequences of trauma and to prevent long-term effects and potentially debilitating diseases. We seek to break down the walls they have built through weekly verbal and non-verbal interventions, including therapies with art and play. Peer groups were held for teens, women, men, and parents in 2017. As we rehabilitate children, teens, and families healthier communities are being developed physically, emotionally, and mentally. Aqbs trauma recovery center offers therapeutic & practical support to children, teens, & adults affected by crimes. Aqb offers education to enlighten families how to protect & empower children, in addition to equip professionals in effective interventions for victims of crime.
