You are invited to join us Monday, Oct. 19, for a webinar on the successes and challenges of a trauma-informed, gender-responsive sober living home program for women with histories of substance abuse and domestic and/or sexual violence.

Discussion topics will include the history of SEEDs, program implementation barriers and successes, lessons learned and next steps for continued sustainability. Speakers will also share program success stories of promoting recovery among women with histories of addiction and victimization.

Featured speakers include:

  • Katie M. Edwards, Ph.D., associate professor, University of Nebraska–Lincoln, CYFS
  • Laura Siller, Ph.D., postdoctoral scholar, CYFS
