While child sexual abuse has been Kristi House’s specialty since founding, its mental health unit has the proven treatment interventions for many types of childhood trauma including problematic sexual behavior, physical abuse, and substance abuse combined with trauma. Kristi House is one of very few agencies in Miami-Dade County providing specialized mental health services for child trauma regardless of families’ ability to pay.
