approach, um, you really highlight how it's slowed down and it's really just highlighting those small processes so you can get to the end goal. Right? Awesome. So all face

clinical services sees children. And you mentioned a lot of that. We oh the kiddos that we see. So what are the qualifications for a child to be seen. Adults.

So a child can be seen actually starting at birth. Technically, even. Um, while a mother is still expecting. So we at all faiths, it's very exciting. We have a team of clinicians that are trained in something that's called parents. Um. CPP child parent psychotherapy. Okay. Wow. And that is a modality of evidence based modality that is intended for the 0 to 5 population. So those providers have gone through a two year, very extensive training process to be able to be rostered in CP and
U1 20:58
work with that 0 to 5 population. And why that population is so crucial. We often times will get the misbelief from an adult. Really, I think it's it's their desire of and hope. They say, oh, this horrible thing happened. But thank goodness my child was only two. They're not going to remember it when we hear that as trauma informed clinicians were like, actually, the younger child is when they experienced trauma, the more difficult and the longer adverse child like experiences that person might experience, because that 0 to 5. Timing is when your brain is really developing. So if a traumatic event happened, it really impacts how the brain is formed and modeled. So the younger into us is actually we need to intervene now. Um, but it can be challenging because a child might be non-verbal, they might not be able to say what happened or to remember it, but their body remembers it. So part of that trauma informed approaches is having, um, this training of the body keeps the score, which is a very popular book. Uh, but knowing that notion that even if you can't verbally say or remember, your body remembers. And so these clinicians, these clinicians are so trained to notice these non-verbal cues to help the parent say, oh, this might be what your child is trying to communicate. How might you be able to respond? So it is those very small moment to moment interactions that the CP provider is very skilled to assess and then help teach the parent or caregiver how to respond. Because, again, we don't want to be the person forever. This formal support, we want the parent to be able to step in and help to heal those wounds or, um, repair that relationship. So the CP model is it's amazing. It's very time consuming and in depth. Um,
U2 23:11
and we were just very excited to have providers who have this specialty. Now, in addition to, you know what? Child age, weight, age range it really is. We really see children through adulthood. Um, so in addition to that 0 to 5 population, the vast majority of the clients that we see for children are in that late elementary age range. So that's that's very typical that we have, uh, clients in that age range. We can work with children, middle school, high school. We also work with youth who have caused
