I am pleased to inform you that Dixwell Newhallville Community Mental Health Services now offers an innovative program to support and provide trauma treatment with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for individuals/families that have survived a homicide.
Our Urban Trauma Center, located at 660 Winchester in New Haven is working closely with the Connecticut Office of Victims Services (OVS) to offer timely, strength based, culturally sensitive and trauma desensitization oriented services for individuals or families that have lost a love one through a homicide.
This is a statewide service and individuals who are treated at DN CMHS, can live anywhere in the state of Connecticut and receive services at the agency. Services are provided through a grant from the Connecticut Office of Victim Services and clients are offered ten (10) appointments at no charge. Services include assessment, individualized trauma treatment, case management, group treatment and psychiatric consultation.
If you have questions about this community service or would like to make a referral, you may contact me at (203) 776-8390 x 211.
