I received your name and contact information from Southwestern College in Santa Fe. I am a doctoral candidate, awaiting IRB approval to conduct a qualitative study evaluating the role of spirituality in posttraumatic growth of female childhood sexual abuse survivors. In addition, I just started a non-profit called WomenSPEAK Foundation Inc., in which the primary mission is to educate the public on the psychological and physiological effects of physical and sexual violence on victims. Our prior focus is to educate on how trauma is stored in the physiology and offer referral to alternative practitioners trained in treating trauma(e.g., acupuncturists, deep tissue massage therapists, Reiki practitioners, EMDR and Art therapists, Yoga instructors). Our services will include EDUCATION-We will educate the community, survivors of violence and their families on the psychological and physiological effects of both physical and sexual violence-through outreach presentations, in office support groups and educational classes. Classes/presentations and support groups. REFERRAL-We will provide a referral service to survivors of violence, matching them with the appropriate non-traditional practitioner (e.g., deep tissue massage therapists, acupuncturists, EMDR and art therapists, religious counselors, Reiki practitioners) based on client needs (Our objective is to locate the least-restrictive alternative to support individuals in their anticipated recovery from their trauma). ADVOCACY-On a case by case basis, clients will be assigned an advocate who can accompany clients to court. DATA COLLECTION- The data collection process will be on-going as we plan to continuously address the needs of the target population. Our target start up date is January 1, 2012 and we will serve our community indefinitely. I would love to schedule a time to meet with you and speak with you more about your work. Please give me a call or email very soon. Thank you. Sharon Sharon D. Baty, ABD, MA, BA President WomenSPEAK Foundation Inc.
