Rimrock Trails receives $1,200 Republic Services community grant for Theraplay training
PRINEVILLE, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Rimrock Trails Treatment Services said Wednesday it is honored to receive a $1,200 grant from Republic Services' Community Grant Program. The funding is in support of Rimrock Trails’ Child and Family Program and will contribute to the Theraplay Training for its clinicians.
“We so appreciate the grant funds provided by our friends at Republic Services. Upwards of eighty percent of the children and families we serve, classify as low-income with limited or no insurance benefits covering the full cost of treatment. As such, we rely on community support to help with the cost of important training such as Theraplay and EMDR. We couldn’t do what we do without support from amazing organizations like Republic Services!” – Michelle Duff, Community Relations Manager, Rimrock Trails Treatment Services
Developed over 50 years ago and practiced around the world, Theraplay was developed for professionals working to support healthy child/caregiver attachment. Strong attachment between the child and the important adults in their life has long been believed to be the basis of lifelong good mental health as well as the mainstay of resilience in the face of adversity. Modern brain research and the field of neuroscience have shown that attachment is how children come to understand, trust and thrive in their world. Theraplay uses practitioner guidance to create playful and caring child-adult interactions that foster joyful shared experiences. The practice has evidence-based status and is accepted by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration for inclusion on the National Registry for Evidence-based Programs and Practices.
