"My experience at Cedars was something I will cherish deeply. It was where I learned to be kind to myself and others. All across the board staff was amazing.

At Cedars, we use a Trauma-Informed Approach, so what does that mean? There are six key principles of trauma-informed care: Safety: Understanding safety as both a physical and psychological need Trustworthiness & Transparency: Decisions are conducted with transparency with a focus on building trust Peer Support: Individuals with lived experience engaging in mutual support fosters safety and hope Collaboration: Patients as partners; one does not need to be a therapist to be therapeutic Empowerment: Shared decision-making, choice, and goal-setting to determine how best to move forward Cultural, Historical, and Gender Issues: Moves past stereotypes and prejudices, offering processes that are responsive to an individual’s identity.
