Program narrative the organization filed with the IRS. Ordered by program spending.

  1. #1 primary $740K
    The Sanctuary program at StreetLightUSA provides higher 'Level 2' residential trauma healing services to adolescent females who have a history of (or are at risk for) child sexual exploitation and co-occurring disorders. A child's developmental age is taken into consideration when determining if this program would be appropriate and beneficial for a child. Trauma healing services in this program include the treatment of co-occurring disorders and behaviors such as acute trauma symptoms (e.g. flashbacks, disassociation, sleep disturbance, self-harm), substance abuse, attention issues, disruptive behaviors, interpersonal/attachment related challenges, anxiety, depression and mood disorders. Therapeutic services are provided using an integrative trauma healing approach that helps to restore a sense of safety and stability. Treatment planning, services, and case updates are informed by treatment team reports, child and family reporting, collateral documentation, clinical and medical observations and recommendations, and standardized screening measures. Services implemented are reflective of each resident's individual stage of healing, and aligned with evidence-based interventions most likely to resonate with the child.
