| Counseling for Children Affected by Domestic Violence |
RP-1400.8000-020.21 |
Programs that identify, assess and provide individual, group or family counseling or other therapeutic services for children who have been exposed to domestic violence. The therapy helps children cope with their emotional reaction to the violence, reduce problematic symptoms/behaviors (e.g., nightmares, insomnia, aggressiveness, outbursts of anger, withdrawal), understand, to the extent they can, why their parents are fighting and be reassured that it is not their fault. Children who are not ready to discuss what they have witnessed may be asked to use drawing of their family or their home, play with dolls or engage in other activities as a way of expressing what they are unable to say. Therapists also work to help the family create a safe and stable environment that will support the child’s ability to heal. Specific therapeutic approaches will vary depending on the child's age, their level of traumatization and other factors. Treatment may involve consultation with the child's school or contacts with pediatricians, attorneys or other providers involved with the family. |

| Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease |
YF-3000.2210 |
A rare, degenerative, invariably fatal brain disorder that, in the early stages, is characterized by failing memory, behavioral changes, lack of coordination and visual disturbances. As the illness progresses, mental deterioration becomes pronounced and involuntary movements, blindness, weakness of extremities and coma may occur. CJD belongs to a family of human and animal diseases known as the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) which can be sporadic (occur despite the absence of known risk factors for the disease), inherited or acquired by exposure to infected brain or nervous system tissue, usually through certain medical procedures. "Spongiform" refers to the characteristic appearance of infected brains, which become filled with holes until they resemble sponges under a microscope. CJD is the most common of the known human TSEs. The leading scientific theory is that CJD and the other TSEs are caused by a type of protein called a prion which occur in both a normal form, which is a harmless protein found in the body’s cells, and in an infectious form, which causes disease. |
