A Life Without Limits
PROGRAM
Child
PTSD
The New Mentality PTSD Program is designed to treat and improve the lives of kids that have been diagnosed or have symptoms of PTSD, without the use of medication.
Post‑Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) isn’t limited to adults. Children and teens who live through frightening or overwhelming events—such as accidents, medical crises, natural disasters, violence, or the sudden loss of a loved one—can carry those experiences in ways that disrupt growth, learning, and everyday joy. At New Mentality, we help young minds process trauma safely and build the resilience every child deserves.
With our innovative technology, we can treat it without the use of medications. Our neurotherapist can perform what’s known as a “brain map” to begin the assessment process and begin to understand how the individual’s brain is functioning. With that information and a combination of other clinical assessments, the team at New Mentality can create a treatment program best suited to assist in improving attention, focus, processing speed, and performance.
Untreated childhood PTSD can interfere with learning, social development, and self‑esteem. The sooner a child receives evidence‑based care, the better the chances of:
Stronger emotional regulation
Improved focus and school performance
Healthier friendships and family relationships
Reduced risk of future anxiety, depression, or substance misuse

DID YOU KNOW?
Sometimes really scary things happen—like a bad accident, a big storm, someone hurting us, or seeing someone get hurt. Most kids feel upset for a while, but after some time they start to feel safe again.
Post‑Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, is what we call it when the brain keeps acting like the scary moment is still happening, even after the danger is over. It’s as if an inner alarm stays stuck on “high alert.” This can last for weeks or months.
When that stuck alarm happens, a kid might:
Get sudden flashbacks or nightmares that replay the event
Feel jumpy, tense, or on edge even in safe places
Avoid reminders of what happened, like certain places, sounds, or people
Have strong emotions—anger, sadness, or fear—that pop up out of nowhere
PTSD is not anyone’s fault, and it doesn’t mean a kid is weak. It’s the brain’s way of trying to protect itself after something frightening. With help from caring adults and trained therapists, the brain can learn to feel safe again and turn that alarm back down.
Direct exposure to trauma – being the victim, a first‑hand witness, or repeatedly seeing graphic details in one’s work (e.g., first‑responders, journalists).
Neurobiology & genetics – heightened reactivity of the amygdala (fear center) and lower calming activity from the pre‑frontal cortex; certain genes affecting stress hormones raise vulnerability.
Prior adversity – childhood abuse or earlier untreated trauma “primes” the nervous system to over‑learn danger signals.
Lack of social support after the event – isolation makes it harder for the brain to file the memory away as “over.”
Other risk factors – pre‑existing anxiety/depression, substance misuse, or traumatic brain injury can all widen the doorway to PTSD.
A licensed mental‑health professional meets with the child and caregiver, asking gentle questions about symptoms (nightmares, flashbacks, jumpiness, avoidance) and how long they’ve lasted. Standard screening checklists and, when helpful, play‑based observation help confirm whether the symptoms have persisted for more than a month and are truly linked to a traumatic event—key criteria for PTSD.
