The benefits that Monet provides to victimized young people and their families include: Providing non-judgmental comfort and support through a cathartic and healing touch. Adding a positive component to a potentially difficult situation. Creating a positive association with the center, which aids in relationship building with their Caseworker. Drawing out healthy emotions, and helps normalize traumatic situations. Supporting the mental health of the professionals in our agency and in the justice process, potentially reducing the impact of vicarious trauma.
