Sunshine Coast Health Centre Announces ‘Georgia Strait’ Women-only Trauma Program to Open in November 2019

Leave a comment


Sunshine Coast Health Centre is a best-in-class trauma treatment program for women.

We are very excited to expand our trauma treatment offerings to women through the Georgia Strait Women’s Clinic.


VANCOUVER, British Columbia (PRWEB)

Sunshine Coast Health Centre (https://www.sunshinecoasthealthcentre.ca/), a best-in-class Centre in British Columbia for trauma treatment, is proud to announce plans for a woman-focused trauma treatment program called the “Georgia Straight Women’s Clinic.” Using a non 12 step methodology, the Centre has established a reputation as a top-rated methodology to treat trauma and PTSD and has historically focused on men only. Its residential facility is located in Powell River, BC, but it has reached clients from the key cities in British Columbia such as Vancouver, Richmond, or Victoria as well as clients from other key cities in Canada such as Calgary or Edmonton. The program is now expanding to a parallel offering to be named “Georgia Straight Women’s Clinic,” and focusing on trauma treatment for women.

“We are very excited to expand our trauma treatment offerings to women through the Georgia Strait Women’s Clinic,” explained Casey Jordan, Chief Marketing Officer. “The new women-focused program will help women with moderate to severe trauma issues in a relaxed, residential setting. Our program will be the first of its kind in Canada.”

A website for the Georgia Strait Women’s Clinic is currently in development. For now, persons interested in the trauma treatment program for women should visit the website at https://www.sunshinecoasthealthcentre.ca/ and then click on the “contact” button. Information can be requested at that point. Alternatively, persons interested in the treatment philosophy and methodology are urged to visit the information pages on Non 12 Step Methodology (https://www.sunshinecoasthealthcentre.ca/non-12-step/) and trauma therapy (https://www.sunshinecoasthealthcentre.ca/trauma-program/). These pages provide an overview to the perspective of the Centre and are a starting point for self-education. Above all, however, each individual is urged to reach out to the Centre for a consultation as no two individuals, nor their situations are exactly alike.

EXPANDING TO MEET THE NEEDS OF CANADIAN WOMEN SUFFERING FROM TRAUMA

Here is background on this release. Scheduled to launch November 2019, the Georgia Strait Women’s Clinic will be the first of its kind in Canada. Currently, women with moderate to severe trauma issues have limited inpatient or residential care options. Long wait lists exist for trauma-specific care of any kind. Most residential programs are strictly trauma-informed, meaning they focus on addictions and treat trauma as a secondary symptom. In addition, most residential programs are mixed gender and are therefore unable to provide the same level of safety and support found in a women-only program.

The Georgia Strait Women’s Clinic will be the first program in Canada to offer trauma-focused care exclusively for women. An abundance of one-on-one, highly personalized care is what makes trauma-focused treatment possible. While the Georgia Strait Women’s Clinic will offer group therapy and psychoeducation, it is understood that trauma can sometimes prevent group participation, particularly in the early stages of care. That is why a heavy emphasis will be placed on emotional self-regulation, offering evidence-based therapies such as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), hypnotherapy, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and many others.

For these reasons, Sunshine Coast Health Centre is proud to announce the Georgia Strait Women’s Program.

ABOUT SUNSHINE COAST HEALTH CENTRE

Sunshine Coast Health Centre is a 47-bed drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility exclusively designed for men, officially opened on the 15th of March 2004. The Centre has a philosophy of care that goes beyond just addiction to include personal transformation based on three key therapeutic principles: interpersonal relatedness, self definition (autonomy & competence), and intrinsic motivation. The Centre offers both drug rehabilitation and alcohol treatment near Vancouver, BC, but serving patients across Canada, particularly British Columbia and Alberta and cities such as Calgary, Edmonton and Red Deer. Sunshine Coast Health Centre uses a form of drug rehabilitation based on the research of Viktor Frankl and methodology of Paul T.P. Wong, namely ‘Meaning ­Centered Therapy.’

mem property management Announces Major Information Security and Server Upgrade

mem property management Announces Major Information Security and Server Upgrade

Over the past year, we have launched mem construction services, mem construction services, mem insurance services, and resale services. We want to make sure our information technology and security infrastructure keeps pace with our company’s growth and success


RIDGEFIELD PARK, N.J. (PRWEB)

mem property management, one of the leading property management companies in New Jersey, recently announced a major information security and server upgrade to keep pace with the company’s recent growth and ensure the safety and security of client data.

As part of the new upgrade, mem property management will be using a new, state of the art HP Server with VMware ESXi and configured to host two virtual machines. mem will have a new domain controller/file server running Microsoft Server 2019, and a new terminal server running Server 2012 for TOPS Pro. In addition, mem property management replaced an older 10/100 switch with a new gigabit switch for better performance, a new Firewall with more security and a new UPS to protect the new hardware from unexpected power failures or power surges.

“Over the past year, we have launched mem construction services, mem construction services, mem insurance services, and resale services. We want to make sure our information technology and security infrastructure keeps pace with our company’s growth and success,” explains Martin Laderman, founder and CEO of mem property management.

Hardly a week goes by without news reports drawing attention to the latest data breach. Facebook, Yahoo, CapitalOne, Equifax are just some of the data breaches impacting hundreds of millions of customers. While it may seem like an inevitable part of being online or doing business in the digital age — it’s likely that everyone has had their data breached or knows someone who has — it’s not something that consumers should have to deal with and forward-thinking companies, like mem property management, are working to make sure their clients’ and customers’ information is safe.

Data breaches officially refer to instances when a person’s name, financial information, Social Security number, and/or medical record is given to a third-party. However, there are less invasive yet equally damaging data breaches, including personal information like an individual’s phone number or email address. While this may seem relatively inconsequential, having customers’ email addresses or phone numbers in the hands of individuals or organizations who do not have permission can have devastating long-term consequences.

Data breaches are also costly for companies. Aside from the reputational damage, according to a recent study sponsored by IBM Security, the average cost for an individual hacked record cost companies $225 each, and a data breach costs a company on average $8.19 million, an increase from $7.91 million in 2018.

“We appreciate the hard work of our technology team and vendors who have worked hard over these last several months to ensure mem property management is an industry leader in the property management space for adopting best practices for information and data security,” said Laderman.

About mem property management

mem property management supports a diverse range of communities throughout New Jersey, from ocean-front condominiums to large master-planned communities to age-restricted active adult communities.

Through a series of strategic acquisitions and attracting the most experienced property management professionals in the region, mem property management has become one of the fastest growing private companies in the country, recognized in the prestigious Inc. 5000 list, while retaining the personalized touch and customized, hands-on approach that has contributed to its success serving multi-family properties in New Jersey.

Dr. Ava S. Harvey Sr.’s newly released “Seven Things Every Believer Needs to Know” is an important manuscript that gives one the necessary spiritual direction

Leave a comment


News Image


MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)

“Seven Things Every Believer Needs to Know”: an insightful dive into the knowledge about the importance of a good faith foundation, spiritual growth, good judgment, and genuine pray life; while also educates about the misrepresentation of faith and its relation to struggles and feelings of worry. “Seven Things Every Believer Needs to Know” is the creation of published author Dr. Ava S. Harvey Sr., a pastor of the Pilgrim Rest Missionary Baptist Church in Mississippi since 1997. He is also a certified mentor through the Mississippi National Guard Youth Challenge Academy, the visionary of the FACE-IT Fellowship Ministry, and has volunteered as a Big Brother Big Sister mentor as well. He was awarded the Pastor of the Year by the Mississippi Music Awards and the prestigious HEADWAE Academic Excellence Award by the Mississippi State Legislature.

Dr. Harvey Sr. shares, “Thoughtfully written and drawing on decades of pastoral experience, Seven Things Every Believer Needs to Know is an essential resource for developing mature Christian spirituality. The Great Commission given by Christ entails the making of disciples through the ministry of teaching. Within the contents of this book are transformative lessons and practical principles that are essential for living the life of faith. Each chapter provides the tenets of support that are fundamental in forming a balanced Christian lifestyle. Too often, believers become disillusioned with God and lose faith when their prayers are seemingly unanswered. There are innumerable misconceptions and incomplete theologies associated with subjects regarding suffering, hardship, and pain. Questions like, “Where is God when I am hurting? Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people?” are properly addressed in this guidebook.

“Throughout each page, Dr. Harvey seeks to gently merge theoretical expectations to pragmatic reality at every stage in Christian development. He conveys instructional strategies and biblical information on a range of topics such as stressors and pressure, waiting on the Lord, and force ripening. Nourished by the Holy Spirit and guided with traditional orthodoxy, the pedagogy of this manuscript is suitable for both individual and collective use. It offers a creative framework for small group settings, discipleship-formation classes, and church Bible studies, respectively. Using sound Christian concepts as the methodology, this resource offers a wide array of comprehensive and ecumenical insights for systematic growth. It serves to foster a spiritual synthesis between the classic components of faith, understanding, and knowledge. Seven Things Every Believer Needs to Know is an appealing compilation that provides the reader heartfelt advice, wholesome encouragement with spiritual direction.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Dr. Ava S. Harvey Sr.’s new book is an illuminating source of precious truths written in the hopes that it will assist anyone as they navigate through their faith journey.
