Facilitator's Guide, Participant’s Workbook, and DVDs |
 |
Beyond Trauma: A Healing Journey for Women is an integrated curriculum for women's services based on theory, research, and clinical experience.

Beyond Trauma has a psychoeducational component that teaches women what trauma is, its process, and its impact on both the inner self (thoughts, feelings, beliefs, values) and the outer self (behavior and relationships, including parenting). The major emphasis is on coping skills with specific exercises for developing emotional wellness.
