Hartman Family of 3

Our story

Ava, age 12, and Aaron, age 14 both started at Aviva when their mother referred them to therapy, hoping therapy would help them process recent trauma. They are currently living in foster care due to being detained from their mother. Their father was incarcerated for 11 years and actively battles substance abuse. Following his recent release, their father attempted to physically assault Aaron and tried breaking into the family home, resulting in his arrest. Mom was accused of not protecting the kids, but Aaron and Ava believe mom did everything in her power to protect them. They struggle being away from their mom and often discuss how much they miss her in sessions. Mom is the sole provider for the family as dad is currently in rehab. Mom’s hope is to soon be reunified with her kids. She describes missing them dearly and worries about their adjustment in foster care. Mom is actively involved in their progress and truly wants the best for her kids. Despite Ava’s and Aaron’s traumatic past, they demonstrate resiliency in their daily lives. Aaron recently started wrestling and finds it to be a great coping mechanism. Ava excels in school and enjoys working on the sets of her school’s performing arts program. They are exceptionally sweet children with bright futures.
