TRANSFORMING PROGRAMS TO TRAUMA RESPONSIVE CARE
TM
Steve has over two decades immersed in high acuity treatment programming. This ranges from his earliest years in high-intensity adolescent residential treatment to adult dual diagnosis addictions IOP program. In 2007, he revolutionized the wilderness therapy world with a trauma-informed wilderness program model that was recognized as a promising experiential treatment model. He thrives in working with teams to see through the lens of trauma-responsive care, which is a progressive evolution beyond trauma-informed. Trauma-responsive by definition includes a fully comprehensive action-based responsiveness that goes far beyond being informed on brain science.
