Bridging the Gap with Children to Recovery Funded By IAIC & The Working Together Works Project (WTW) 7/31/2017A Note from Susan The heart of Bridging the Gap with Children to Recovery is to provide quality information and tools for the proverbial tool belt for our most vulnerable population. Substance, alcohol and trauma impact a life in an indescribable manner. Children are often effected to their very core. Traditional approaches to building a relationship with these children are often ineffective. Outside the box thinking, adjusting our expectations and meeting the child where they are will facilitate healthy recovery.
