GREETINGS FROM OUR FOUNDER
|
Can you believe it is almost fall? I can't. In Southern California, the weather certainly doesn't feel like it!
In July, we celebrated our residential program and safe house being open for one year.
We are especially excited to share with you about one of our residents, *N (initial only used to protect confidentiality), who is now in her sixth month of being here in our residential program. That is a huge accomplishment! Before coming into our program, N had very little trauma therapy and what therapy she did have, had been a very negative experience. Because
|
engaging in individual therapy is a core part of our program, she agreed to give it another try but was hesitant. The first few weeks were rough and we wondered if she would ever feel safe enough to trust her therapist to let some walls down. But in time, we began to see some change. About 4 months into the program, she shared with me that our staff therapist was the first therapist that ever made her feel like she genuinely cared about her as a person and not just a case to be passed around in the system. Since
trust and
safety are two foundational things that must be established for the real work of healing and helping to begin, this was a huge step in the therapeutic process.
We are so thankful for the trauma healing support that we are able to provide for our residents through individual and group therapy. This is a direct result of the support that we receive from you. Thank you for partnering with us to make seeds of healing possible for survivors!
Serving with you,
Charlene Heydorn, Founder & CEO
