Trauma-Informed Care
At Maryvale, our approach to treatment is built upon the foundation of Trauma-Informed Care. These principles are designed to create an environment of healing and recovery by addressing the unique needs and long-term impacts of trauma.
Trauma Lens Guiding Principles
Guided by the principles of treatment and interventions, our two-track, tiered service option demands collaboration between family and clinical team. This two-track service model is divided into:
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): Play a crucial role in co-occurring disorder treatment programs by providing a high level of care for individuals with substance use and mental health disorders who do not require 24-hour supervision. This program has three levels designed to meet specific goals and outcomes based on the youth’s individualized treatment plan.
- Intensive In-Home Behavioral Health Services Program (II-HBHS): (Arranged into two levels) rapidly empowers youth and their families to manage their lives without requiring higher-level intervention.
Individualized Care Plans and Strengths-Based Perspective
Individualized care plans are crucial for effective treatment, as they cater to the unique needs of each youth and family. At Maryvale, we conduct an initial assessment that guides treatment and involves identifying strengths, supports, and available community resources.
Clinical services, such as individual and family therapy, along with parent workshops, provide a foundation for treatment, while transitional and discharge planning support successful transitions and ongoing care.
In-home services, family skills building, and 1:1 mentorship further contribute to the individualized treatment approach.
Key Principles of Trauma-Informed Care
Safety
Safety is our paramount concern. At Maryvale, safety extends to both physical and psychological aspects, ensuring that everyone feels secure.
Trustworthiness and Transparency
We believe in openness and honesty in our operations and decision-making. Building trust among our staff, youth, and their families is essential to our approach.
Collaboration
We recognize that healing happens within relationships. We promote a sense of partnership and equality among all involved in the care process.
Cultural Sensitivity
We transcend cultural stereotypes and biases, offer gender-responsive services, and acknowledge and address historical trauma.
Empowerment
At Maryvale, we recognize and utilize each youth’s individual strengths. We promote exposure to the choice-making process, endorsing personal strengths and uniqueness rather than responding to deficits.
Cultural Sensitivity
Maryvale transcends stereotypes and biases, offering gender-responsive services and respecting cultural connections. We address historical trauma.
Team-Oriented Approach and Collaboration with Key Stakeholders
Maryvale’s team-oriented strategy highlights collaboration between youths, families, therapists, and stakeholders to provide support and foster healing. Supportive services and strategies address the youth’s education, spirituality, religion, cultural values, and overall well-being, with ongoing engagement from the treatment team members in planning and adapting.
