Susan Salasin is a pioneer in the area of women, violence prevention and trauma. Her commitment and determination has kept trauma on the public mental health agenda. It is through the Salasin Project that we honor her work and her courage to persevere toward the vision of trauma-informed systems and support.
We offer solace to those living in fear through trauma-informed supports. We understand all persons and families seeking assistance to be the experts in their lives and in their healing. We respond to basic and emerging needs. We provide trained advocates to help guide women to other healing related support resources. We invite everyone to participate in the creation of a healing community of informed citizens prepared to connect to those in need.
