Individual counseling at SiH helps victims of trauma and abuse
see themselves as survivors and "thrivers".  This process uses
the following key principles:


SAFETY AND EMPOWERMENT
With safety, survivors develop coping strategies that protect them
from further psychological harm.  With empowerment, survivors
take back control of their lives.


VALIDATION
Validation of the survivor's whole being, as well as her rights,
thoughts, feelings and choices.


STRENGTH AND RESPECT
Clients are seen as having the capacity for positive and creative
self-growth.  There is respect for survivors choices and couping
strategies.


EDUCATION
Information about the pattern of power and control in abusive
relationships provides survivors with a framework for
understanding what has happened to them.


EXPANDING ALTERNATIVES
The sky's the limit!  Alternatives are created by the client, with
ongoing support and encouragement.
