Moral Injury Recovery Model
Tailwinds Ranch is based on a Moral Injury Recovery/Rebuilding Model. There is no fee for services, but we ask that clients give back to their community. This means any acts of service for the general good, or for others. Clients can assist in animal and farm chores to help the program, they can volunteer at community centers, mentor others, reach out and have coffee with another person in need, or even just spend dedicated time with their family undistracted by phones or other distractions. This concept is to help facilitate re-connecting with self and others.
We aren't your usual "50 minutes and times up" in a clinical office kind of place. As a good friend once told us- "It's like wrestling a bear. You don't quit when you are tired, you quit when the bear is tired." That's how we see working with trauma, we need to keep at it until trauma starts to take a backseat. Sessions are as long as they need to be.
