Emotional & Mental Health Support
Trauma-informed care for healing
Child Arise Tennessee is building a trauma-informed approach to emotional and mental health support for children impacted by parental incarceration. Rather than providing clinical services directly, we work to identify needs, reduce barriers, and connect children and families to appropriate, trusted mental health resources through schools and community partners.
- Connection to individual counseling through partner providers
- Referral to group-based therapeutic supports
- Collaboration with school-based mental health teams
- Crisis support coordination through established community resources
