Abstract
This project developed a 12-week curriculum to address the impacts of trauma on the early development of children and provide tools for parents to help their children better cope with and heal from the effects of trauma at the Redwood Community Action Agency's Multiple Assistance Center (RCAA/MAC), a transitional living facility for homeless families. The curriculum was developed with input from the families living at the MAC and MAC staff. Seeking and utilizing input from the families living at the MAC empowers clients to have a voice within the process of creating the curriculum.
