Talitha Koum Institute

Description

• The Talitha Koum Institute is a mental health therapeutic Nurture Center focusing on the brain development of extreme-risk children. Through an intensive care program involving their Therapeutic Nurture Center, alongside school age mentoring, parent education, and community training programs, the Talitha Koum Institute strives to improve outcomes by providing comprehensive support for each childs family, while growing to support the children until the time they reach high school graduation. Many children in Waco are subjected to more than extreme poverty. They also often face violence, unstable living situations, and fear of abandonment. The desperate tasks of surviving poverty leave many families in physical and emotional chaos. It is around this chaos that the mind of an infant creates its reality; literally the brain constructs around chaos. Since 2003, Talitha Koum Institutes Nurture Center has brought hope and improved outcomes through an intensive care, trauma-informed program that combines: Mental health, therapeutic nursery for birth to five year olds, serving year-round on weekdays. The multi-layered approach includes: o Evidence-based HighScope® cognitive curriculum o Sensory Diet for each child, developed by Occupational Therapist, Carol Salvesen o Play therapy for older children Child Trauma Academys Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT) developed by psychiatrist, Dr. Bruce Perry, M.D., Ph.D. Mentoring program for children from Kindergarten to college Weekly Parenting Meetings Talitha Koum holds a goal to send each child to public school Kindergarten able to self-regulate and ready to learn from the calm-alert state. TKI also intends to help schools take a NEW TAC (Neurologically Effective Ways for Trauma-Affected Children) thereby decreasing suspensions by 85% and much reducing those who enter the School-to-Prison Pipeline, which often has its roots in early-grades suspensions.
