Beyond Trauma Facilitator Guide: A Healing Journey for Women

Beyond Trauma: A Healing Journey for Women is an evidence-based, twelve-session program created by Dr. Stephanie Covington, pioneer in the field of women's issues, addiction, and recovery. The materials are the product of both research and clinical experience and designed for trauma treatment, although the connection between trauma and addiction in women's lives is a primary theme throughout. Based on principles of relational therapy, the program uses cognitive-behavioural techniques, mindfulness, and expressive arts. The second edition of this best-selling program has been significantly expanded to include new sessions, and has been updated to reflect the latest research and statistics and to be compliant with DSM-5. It also provides recommendations on how to adapt the sessions for adolescent girls. Practical and easy-to-use, the program components include a participant workbook, participant video, facilitator guide, and training video featuring clinical and personal insights from the author. It is ideal for use in a wide variety of settings including treatment and corrections.
