New Trauma Based Model of Care Implemented at Crittenton

Over the past 24 months, Crittenton has implemented a trauma-informed model of care known as ARC (Attachment, Regulation and Competency). Crittenton staff members have been trained in this methodology designed to address issues associated with complex traumas including acute, attachment stress, PTSD and resilience


All programs offered at Crittenton including Maternity, Mother/Child, Independent Living and Parenting Education program have been adapted to incorporate ARC as a tool in recognizing and understanding how trauma impacts each client. Acquiring this knowledge is the first step in helping clients achieve vital outcomes including social engagement, independent and parenting skills, and empowerment.
