When children can play out how they feel with a trained play therapist who understands, they feel better because feelings have been released. Harmony Home has a complete play therapy room filled with therapeutic toys and a new sand tray therapy room. Harmony Home has 1 of only 2 Registered Play Therapists in Odessa. Groups of both adults and children are offered at Harmony Home. Adult groups consist of Support or Parenting Groups and children's groups range from Children's Grief Groups, to young Play Therapy groups to Teen's groups, depending upon the needs of the clients.
Groups normally meet once a week in the evenings.
Family Therapy is offered, when needed, to members of the same family who are working on issues that can be best resolved by working together. Court school is a fun learning experience for children that will be testifying in court. Harmony Home, the District Attorney's Office, Young Lawyers Association, County Judges and volunteers all participate to help children understand the judicial system and what their role in it will be. A new part-time Master's Level staff person was added in 1997 to help coordinate and improve services to our child abuse victims. This staff person also provides extra support to the family during the judicial process.
