Since 2010, we have been developing our unique model of care that has, at its core, an understanding of the extensive impact that traumatic experiences have on the men, women, and children that we serve. Our environment, our staffing, and our clinical approach are based on trauma informed principles. We deliver mental health and substance use disorder treatment in a way that is more effective in helping our clients create meaningful lives. We know that because our outcomes show it to be true. This Conference is an opportunity to share our model with other providers. – DEBBIE RUISARD, DSW, LCSW, LCADC, CLINICAL DIRECTOR
