Beyond Trauma: A Healing Journey for Women

$549.00 (complete set)

Beyond Trauma: A Healing Journey for Women is a manualized curriculum for women’s services based on theory, research, and clinical experience. The evidence-based materials are designed for trauma treatment, although the connection between trauma and substance abuse in women’s lives is a primary theme throughout. The program has been developed for use in residential and outpatient treatment settings, domestic violence programs, mental health clinics, and criminal justice settings. Beyond Trauma has a psychoeducational component that teaches women what trauma is, its process, and its impact. The major emphasis is on coping skills, with specific exercises for developing emotional wellness. The Beyond Trauma program materials include a facilitator’s guide, a participant’s workbook entitled A Healing Journey, and three DVDs (2 for facilitator training and 1 for clients). The program is based on the principles of relational therapy; it uses cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT) and expressive arts. The program materials also can be used with staff groups for training in the provision of trauma-informed and trauma-specific services.

The facilitator’s guide has two parts: the first gives group leaders some background information about trauma; the second includes 11 session outlines that are like lesson plans.

Beyond Trauma also can be used to extend and deepen the trauma work introduced in Helping Women Recover.
