Clinical Programs

This is the duty of our generation as we enter the twenty-first century—solidarity with the weak, the persecuted, the lonely, the sick, and those in despair. It is expressed by the desire to give a noble and humanizing meaning to a community in which all members will define themselves not by their own identity but by that of others. –Elie Wiesel

The Clinical Program at Rainbow House encompasses the therapy services and outreach programs that we provide to the families and children we serve.

Children and families can utilize our expertise and dedication to ending child maltreatment and healing its wounds. Use of our family advocacy program and numerous therapeutic services are available to all children and families in crisis, preference given to children and families who are clients of Rainbow House.

Therapy Services

Rainbow House provides therapy to children through the Children’s Emergency Shelter and Regional Child Advocacy Center.

The Emergency Children’s Shelter offers therapy and resource assistance both while the child is in residence and after they leave our doorstep.

The CAC provides therapy services and referrals to children and families post-forensic interview. Outpatient therapy for victims of sexual abuse (who have not had interviews at the CAC) is available on a limited and short-term basis for both individuals and families. Therapy is focused on abuse and trauma and can include court preparation support when needed. Play therapy and other approaches are used to assist a child or family in managing the disruption, and pain associated with sexual abuse. We also assist families in connecting with other qualified therapists for long-term and out-of-county counseling needs.
