How to Refer to Our Program

To Know Us is to Love Us

Creating great referent relationships is incredibly important to us.  We have worked diligently to create partnerships across the US, Canada, Europe, and beyond.  

Here are some great things to know about us:

• We have been around for FIVE DECADES.
  That’s right! We were established in 1972 as program to help emotionally wounded folks find refuge, and continue with our mission today. 

• We stand on our stellar reputation.
  Standing out as a program of excellence is incredibly important to us.  There are not many true trauma programs that exist, and so it is important to us that we do it right.  This includes:
  • Maintaining the highest standards of ethics, and if we ever falter, we do everything humanly possible to correct our error.
  • Assuring that we are truly the best fit for every client, and if we are not, we make a referral to a program that would best fit their needs.
  • Staying Small: We are not a cookie-cutter, “we do it all” type of program.  We know what we are, we do it well, and stick to the mission.
  • Exceptional Staff: We employ staff across our departments from all walks of life, cultures, ethnicities, religions, genders, orientations, educational credentials, specialties, and more.  We also offer our staff unique opportunities to received continued training.

• We are a 501c3 not-for-profit.
  Being a mission-driven program is important to us.  We rely on a combination of affordable program fees and donations from grateful alumni and supporters to keep our doors open.

• We only open program admission every-other Monday.
  We only admit up to 10 people every-other Monday, which keeps our groups small and safe – perfect for the intense trauma work we are known for. (You can read more about Our Approach and Our Group Process here.)
