"IT IS EASIER TO BUILD STRONG CHILDREN

THAN TO FIX BROKEN MEN"

FREDERICK DOUGLASS

STABILIZATION

Stabilization support is essential for the healing process of both adults and children.

It addresses basic needs during times of trauma, providing individualized healing plans and resources.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Survivors often express a desire to build community and help others before focusing on their own healing.

We support their individual journeys, channeling that energy to celebrate and create a legacy for their loved ones.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AND EVOLUTION

Focusing on your grief journey of healing.

Engaging in community that is learning about the science of trauma and participating in the art of healing and processing trauma.

PILOTS

In 2011, SEW facilitated two pilot programs. The first was at Project for Pride and Living in the CVI housing complex, serving 5 to 10 mothers with mental health issues from low-income households. This group had a 50% completion rate for the 12-session curriculum. SEW maintains contact with all mothers who identified as Standard Edition Women.

The second pilot took place concurrently at Pillsbury United Communities, working with 10 to 20 teenagers in the FANS Program who faced barriers to escaping poverty and pursuing higher education. Currently, SEW is running a group at the Neighborhood Involvement Program.

LESSONS LEARNED

“The difference between saying and doing” was voted the favorite tenet which we found was different for each woman who participated.  

One mother reported that if she “kept it real with herself” she didn’t want to be in the class because she wasn’t ready to be committed to change or learning.

Tailor the topic to respond to the community needs and teach the tenets within that topic. 

Wellness Coaches and Gun Violence Trauma Doulas should never facilitate alone and should have adequate self-care and time off to maintain their own health.
