The reasoning behind this proposition is that: A) EBHV
programs are designed to serve women categorized as «at - risk» due to a variety of demographic factors, including single - parent household status, age at time of first pregnancy, being categorically undereducated, under or unemployed, and meeting federal standards of living at or below the poverty line; B) these
programs serve women during pregnancy and / or shortly after the birth of their children, offering an
excellent chance for the
early prevention of trauma exposure; and C)
intervention services are provided at the same times that attachment (whether secure or insecure) is being developed between mothers and children, providing the opportunity that generational risk may be mitigated.
