-
Outline strategies for supporting survivors of sexual violence using a trauma-informed approach
Presentation Overview:
Understanding the basics of sexual assault are so important for therapists. As most clinicians know, it is not if you will ever work with someone who has experienced the trauma of sexual assault, but when you will work with a survivor of sexual assault. This panel discussion will address the basics of sexual assault, including reviewing stats and dispelling myths about survivors and will provide an understanding of resources available to survivors with both a long-term and recent history of sexual assault, all through a trauma-informed lens.

We love the relationship we have with our Alumni. It is an honor and joy to celebrate in their successes and to stand by them in hardships. Here is some of what they have recently shared. |
|
Recovery is not something completed upon leaving a residential level of care program; it is an on-going process of learning and personal growth. Addiction, after all, is a chronic disease. To achieve long-term recovery it is imperative to stay connected. This isn’t about addition. This is about recovery.

Melissa Pennington, DO, FASAM
Medical Director
Nature of Addiction
One of the hardships consistent within addiction is the nature of addiction itself. Having worked with and for other mental and behavioral health organizations, Santé’s Medical Director Dr. Melissa Pennington points out, “Santé understands and best addresses the ‘rolling with resistance’ aspect of treating addiction.” Those in active addiction commonly want to leave treatment, stop doing the hard but important work of feeling and healing, and return to their drug of choice at various points along their recovery journey. From initial intake to detox and longer term recovery, Santé has developed and implemented several procedures to encourage patients to remain in life-saving, life-affirming treatment. “We do this by ensuring a non-judgmental attitude, comfortable detox, gentle reassurance, and enlisting the help of peers and family and friends in recovery.” We ask patients to intentionally invest in themselves and in their treatment community, refraining from their previous environment in their first few days in residential treatment. Dr. Pennington continues, “We have a ‘96 hour rule’ that ensures patients do not leave treatment impulsively. Most importantly, we treat each and every patient as a person. We listen to them, we understand them, and we don't take their actions or statements in the midst of addiction personally.”

Step Three
An important step in someone's path to recovery is faith. Having the trust to rely on something or someone who is not themselves is not easy but it can be done if you have the confidence to try. Let go and have faith.

You are mission-inspired and results-driven. You chose your profession and calling for all the right reasons. Your work helps people in their most hidden and painful problems every day.
The importance of your work is underscored by how incredibly hard it is. Any given day might bring massive challenges with your clients or patients. Who else is in it for all the right reasons? Who can you trust to work alongside you, providing evidence-based and trauma-resolution care? Who provides the best opportunity for long-term recovery?
Google provides 350,000,000 results when searching “addiction treatment.” This is an overwhelming number of options that you can ascertain for quality, but can your clients or patients?
They look to you to:
- Distinguish clinical experience and expertise from nonessential amenities and impersonal call centers;
- Connect them to higher levels of care ready for the increasing complexity of their problems and to discover and begin to heal from the root issues underneath, therefore decreasing the likelihood of relapse;
- Recognize other facilities may dress the part but lack integrity.
They look to you. And you look to Santé Center for Healing for expertise, integrity and long-term recovery…for all the right reasons.
