THERAPEUTIC SUPPORT

Clinical treatment is an integral piece of residential programming at Elora House, with stabilization through EMDR Trauma Therapy as a vital objective. All residents receive an Individualized Clinical Treatment Plan created by the resident, with the support of our Clinical Trauma Therapist. 

Other therapeutic supports available to residents include CBT, DBT, and Rapid Resolution Therapy.

PROGRAMMING

Elora House honours a three stage program, and in the first stage the focus is on Rest. In recognizing some common themes for our residents around displacement and sleep/food deprivation, we provide all options through a health and wellness lens. Routine, consistency, and balance lead the way ensuring that set meal and sleep times, daily exercise, thoughtful reflection, and opportunities to learn, are all readily available.

In addition, residents can access art programming, pet therapy, nutrition support, personal fitness plans, spiritual leadership, concussive assessment/treatment, and so much more. 

NEXT STAGES

Stages Two (Rebuild) and Three (Restart) revolve around deepening some of the skills learned in Stage One (Rest), with the focus now - and moving forward - on establishing both a healthy life balance and building towards a life after Human Trafficking. The Elora House staff provide housing search support, accompaniment to court, police, or hospital visits, as well as support with continuing education and résumé building with an eye on the future.
