- Inspirational and empowering environmental cues (pictures, sayings by women from history through contemporary, etc.)
- Good leadership among staff, positive role models
- Staff trained to understand the effects of trauma on so many women, and what this means for treatment... (like hypervigilence to being screamed at, etc.!)
- Good integration of a mental health component, since many women in residential treatment (at least) have co-occurring mental health concerns like depression, anxiety disorders, etc.
- Family involvement, support for parenting, etc.
What do you think makes a good women's treatment program? A good men's treatment program? Or do you think coed treatment is best??
