Residency Trauma Therapy Program
The Residency Mindset Trauma Therapy Program is designed for individuals who have successfully transitioned out of the foremost stage of homelessness (meaning participants have work and housing) that want to take the next steps to build a permanently sustainable lifestyle. We see mindset and mental health as the foundations of sustainable living, especially for those who have experienced significant hardship.
The RM Program provides priority-access trauma therapy for women transitioning into permanent housing. Though we've always encouraged therapy for our program members, it has taken up to a year for our staff to gain access to a therapist in the past. Now we can connect program participants with a network of licensed third-party therapists immediately while covering the cost. Rather than acting as counselors ourselves, we're connecting participants to certified therapists in a uniquely expedient and supportive way.
Residency Program Partner Testimonial
Our program is so grateful to Residency for facilitating the process of bringing quality mental health services to families in our permanent supportive housing. It is a challenge finding therapists who can provide ongoing, quality treatment through public resources. This barrier is deeply connected to obstacles our clients navigate each day and exacerbates their trauma. In order for us to properly serve some of the most resilient individuals, we need partnerships that remove the bottlenecks that keep them from accessing tools for healing. Residency has thoughtfully identified a solution that strengthens collective pursuits towards a just society and enhances the leaders from historically disenfranchised communities.

"Residency has changed the trajectory of my life. Working in a supportive environment has helped me become a better problem-solver and an all-around more disciplined person, both at work and at home. I recently earned my GED and have since enrolled in my first college class. I appreciate learning from Tyler and Hughie, and I want to improve because they set an example of how to work hard with compassion and discipline."
