A gender-responsive, trauma-informed treatment program for mental health, addiction, and domestic violence professionals working within the criminal justice system Beyond Violence+: A Prevention Program for Justice-Involved Women and Gender-Diverse People is the revised and expanded version of the evidence-based Beyond Violence (2013). The expansion includes additional sessions focusing on suicide prevention, parenting, relationships in prison, and gender diversity. This treatment program is specifically developed for those who have committed aggressive or violent crimes and are in prisons, jails, and community correctional settings. The curriculum applies the Social-Ecological Model to understand violent impulses and their management. This same conceptual model is used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and by researchers affiliated with the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA). This four-level violence prevention model considers the complex interplay between individual, relationship, community, and societal factors. It addresses key issues that put women at risk of experiencing or perpetrating violence. The Beyond Violence+ program consists of 27 group sessions. Facilitators receive the background information and content necessary to lead practical and effective sessions, and the Participant Workbook allows women to process, record, and refer back to their therapeutic group experiences. By the end of the program, participants will have new skills in communication, conflict resolution, de-escalation, decision-making, and self-soothing. They also will have a newfound understanding of themselves, their backgrounds, and the paths forward in their lives.

1 woman. 100 poems. Endless reflections. Stephanie Hale, emerging Canadian author and recognized Human Rights Activist with a background in Civil Engineering Technology, presents a poetic biographic in haiku.

A gripping and deeply-felt examination of incarcerated women''s lives With unflinching clarity, Hidden Healers cuts through the myths about incarcerated women to expose the all-too-real brutalities they face within a criminal legal system never designed for them. Backed by three decades'' experience providing therapeutic programs inside prisons across the United States, trauma specialist Dr. Stephanie Covington has used her unique access to amplify the voices of the women themselves. Their stories illuminate realities most never see: that most women who get caught up in the criminal justice system have themselves been victims of harm, that the degradations of today''s prisons and jails only magnify their trauma- and that incarcerated women regularly risk punishment to tend to one another''s well-being in unexpected acts of kindness. Grounded in research and rich with personal narrative, Hidden Healers is a poignant and riveting look inside women''s prisons and jails- and what we can do to help.

"Each woman''s path to recovery is unique, and no one understands that quite like Stephanie Covington. While many in recovery walk a path with the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) as their map and guide, women often struggle to fit their steps to the Twelve Steps; language and concepts like powerlessness and surrender mean something different for them than they do for men. In the first edition of A Woman''s Way through the Twelve Steps, published in 1994, Covington provided women with a new map, one that interpreted the Steps, their concepts, and their language in a way that aligns with women''s unique recovery needs. Now, she expands that work further to include the voices of gender-expansive individuals. Designed to be used in conjunction with A Woman''s Way through the Twelve Steps and A Woman''s Way through the Twelve Steps Facilitator Guide, this workbook begins with the original Step language, preserving its spirit and focusing attention on its healing message. In sections devoted to each of the Twelve Steps, Covington blends narrative, guided imagery exercises, physical activities, and self-assessment questions focused on addressing recovery issues and fostering a sense of safety, respect, and dignity. This workbook helps readers deepen and extend their understanding of the Twelve Steps and empowers each woman to take ownership of her recovery process as well as her growth as a person. It can be used individually or in facilitated groups in residential or outpatient treatment programs." -- Back cover.

Exploring the social construction of womanhood in Tswana culture, this book questions how gendered expectations are shifting in the context of a rapidly changing environment. Seismic social change is underfoot in Botswana, and gender relations are in flux. The government''s enactment of extensive legal reforms, national programmes, and international instruments has gone a long way towards ensuring gender equality on an official basis. However, conventionally defined gender roles continue to present major obstacles for women. This book explores what it means to be a woman today in Botswana. The concept of womanhood as a mark of status and responsibility is interrogated, and the social consequences of failing to meet the criteria for womanhood are explored. Stephanie S. Starling considers the multiple and often contradictory burdens women face, the strategies they employ, and the sacrifices they make to meet their obligations. Caught between traditional expectations and modern desires, women share stories of agency, creativity and struggle in defining their own paths. A reflexive account of the fieldwork is presented. confronting the ethical challenges of cross-cultural research from a feminist standpoint.

Develop the qualities of strategic leadership and become an active contributor to the short- and long-term success of your organization Today''s organizations face two daunting challenges: 1. How to create new sources of competitive advantage to sustain long-term growth, and 2. How to engage leaders at every level of the organization so that they are more proactive and forward-looking in their area of responsibility. The Art of Strategic Leadership uses a unique approach to examine what it means to be a strategic leader. Instead of focusing on the skills, behaviors, and tools found in typical books on strategic leadership, the authors shed light on the attributes and qualities necessary to lead strategic change and help transform a business. Strategic leadership is what modern leadership is all about. Organizations expect leaders to anticipate and be proactive more than ever before. In this book, the authors draw on their vast experience working directly with leaders at all levels and use an intriguing narrative to explain this inside-out approach to understanding strategic leadership. The narrative follows the journey of how one manager discovered these critically important qualities. You will experience first-hand how these values and attributes manifest in the lives of realistic leaders; how they orchestrate long-term strategic change needed for the organization to compete and survive and actively shape the future while delivering short-term results. The Art of Strategic Leadership provides the content that will help you informally assess and reflect on your own strategic leadership qualities—those that are strengths and those that indicate areas you need to develop. It will guide you as you incorporate these values and qualities into your own leadership style and become a more effective catalyst for change. This book will help you in the following ways: Develop a more proactive, forward-thinking approach to leadership Approach strategy from both short- and long-term perspectives Adopt the core values and principles of a strategic leader Model the qualities exhibited by powerful leaders Strategic leaders serve as powerful examples to others in the organization. Their qualities and traits spread rapidly to those around them, empowering people at every level to take a more active role in meeting the demands of the future. The Art of Strategic Leadership will help you deepen and broaden your understanding of the core qualities of strategic leadership, leaving you better equipped to lead yourself and your team to a better place and create greater value for customers, owners, and employees.

Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) has become an epidemic in the college-age population with young adults between the ages of 18 and 25 be ing the highest risk group for the behavior. Many college counseling center directors report that treatment with individuals who engage in NSSI is often not successful. A major hindrance in the treatment of NSSI is a lack of motivation in the individual to give up the behavior and, within the college setting, there is the further complication of the short-term model of therapy employed by many college counseling centers nationwide. A form of treatment is needed that could help build an individuals motivation to change self-injuring behavior within a time-limited framework. Motivational interviewing (MI) is one such treatment that shows potential as an appropriate addition to current treatment to enhance efficacy or build basic motivation for change. This critical review of the literature synthesizes, critiques, and analyzes the research literature related to training clinicians generally and training clinicians in MI in order to determine how college counselors can best be trained in MI to address the problem of NSSI.

Este libro, pensado específicamente para mujeres, ofrece una perspectiva femenina del programa de los Doce pasos, buscando los mensajes sanadores detrás de las palabras orientadas a los hombres. La recuperación no es solo para los hombres, más, a veces, para una mujer parecería que lo es. Pensado específicamente para ese tipo de mujer, este libro ofrece una perspectiva femenina al programa de los Doce Pasos, buscando los mensajes sanadores detrás de las palabras orientadas a los hombres. Basado en un examen abierto y una interpretación flexible de los Doce Pasos, esta nueva perspectiva tiene en cuenta el desarrollo psicológico de la mujer acerca de la adicción y la recuperación, así como también los factores sociales y culturales que afectan particularmente a las mujeres. Reconociendo que la recuperación implica cuestiones especiales para las mujeres—desde preguntas sobre sexualidad, relaciones y las ansiedades cotidianas de la vida sobre hablar en reuniones con personas de ambos géneros --A Woman''s Way through the Twelve Steps (La mujer y su práctica de los Doce Pasos) se enfoca directamente en la experiencia femenina de la adicción y de sanar. La escritora examina los Doce Pasos, uno a uno, en su lenguaje tradicional, explicando y demostrando de una forma que subraya la experiencia de la mujer—empoderando al lector a tomar control de su proceso de recuperación así como también de su crecimiento como mujer.
