HEALTH

The Empowerment Program Inc. is a licensed mental health and drug treatment program providing trauma-informed and gender-responsive outpatient services. We believe that participants benefit most from a holistic approach, where many types of treatments are available to meet individual needs.

Wellness spreads and when you take time to focus on your wellness you are also taking time to increase the resiliency of your family and community. If you are interested in reducing harm to your body by addressing substance use and mental wellness this is a great place for you to start.

WE ARE HERE FOR YOU.

We offer a variety of services to promote participants’ mental, physical and sexual health. We work in partnership with our participants to help them reach their goals along their individual health journey.

Trauma Handbook

Introduction
The nature of this Handbook is philosophical. It is meant to encourage self-awareness, broaden wisdom and a sense of peace. Through personal growth, this Handbook helps us learn what it means to have soul and to share this sense of soul with others – building our communities, our nation and assisting our global neighbors. When our safety and stability are dismantled, for whatever reason, we can learn to remain balanced and exhibit measured, moral behavior.

This Handbook offers a guide for discussion and thought. The Handbook reflects best-practice, trauma-informed ideas from an applied philosophy perspective.
