Dr. Mednick created, administered and was the featured therapist for the pioneering trauma healing program dealing with military sexual abuse for women in the military who were featured in the Academy Award nominated documentary "The Invisable War". The program has now expanded to deal with trauma victims not just for victims of military sexual abuse but also of PTSD, domestic violence and sex trafficking. The Center hopes to have a ranch in the future which will provide in-patient trauma treatment for military vets and the ability to house their families during the process. |
