default-thumbnail

Dr. Julie Kaplow founded the Trauma and Grief Center at the University of Michigan in 2012 before moving it to the University of Texas Medical School at Houston in 2014, and then to the Texas Children’s Hospital in August, before Harvey struck.

The center will open the Harvey Resiliency and Recovery Program in early October to provide risk screenings, assessments and help to children ages 7 to 17 who are at high risk of developing PTSD after the storm. The new program was funded in part by Children’s Health Fund, through a donation by singer-songwriter Paul Simon, who co-founded the organization, and his wife, singer and Texas-native Edie Brickell.
