(The Options for Recovery Perinatal Program is for caregivers caring for children ages 0 to 60 months who are drug and/or alcohol exposed and/or HIV-positive. Options Caregivers receive 35 hours of specialized training and qualify for 48 hours of monthly respite. If you are interested in becoming an Options caregiver, please call Arleth A.

Topic: Aside from the immediate physical injuries’ children can experience through maltreatment, a child’s reactions to abuse or neglect can have lifelong and even intergenerational impacts. Childhood maltreatment can be linked to later physical, psychological, and behavioral consequences as well as costs to society as a whole. Parents need to be aware of these issues in order to help children heal and increase protection factors for these children.
