Rebecca Mirick (Research Consultant to Riverside Trauma Center and MindWise Innovations), Jim McCauley (Associate Director of Riverside Trauma Center), and Joanna Bridger (Former Trauma Center Clinical Director and a member of our Critical Incident Team) recently published a pivotal article, “Trauma-Informed Practice with Individuals with Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors,” in the Clinical Social Work Journal emphasizing the importance of trauma-informed practices when treating individuals with suicidal thoughts and behaviors. The article explores the strong relationship between trauma and suicidality while highlighting the dearth of information on how a trauma-informed approach is applied to work with this population. Trauma-informed practices consist of compassionate, collaborative care grounded in the recognition of trauma's widespread impact and the long-term effects of traumatic stress, and the article underscores the need for trauma-informed care as a universal precaution that can prevent harm and promote healing for all.

Riverside clinician Stay-Ann Hylton was recently a featured presenter at the International Association of Special Education (IASE) 18th Biennial Conference in the Czech Republic, where Stay-Ann showcased Riverside's Behavioral Treatment Services program to delegates from over 30 countries. In addition to presenting, Stacy-Ann attended numerous educational sessions and learned new strategies and techniques to share with the Riverside team. She also visited a community-based residence and vocational setting for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, where she gained valuable firsthand experience and swapped fresh perspectives on current behavioral healthcare issues with international providers. What a great experience! #developmentaldisabilities #intellectualdisabilities #IASE

Yesterday, we celebrated Sandy Watmough’s 25th anniversary at Riverside, and her retirement. Sandy began her time at Riverside in 1998 as an intern from Lesley College as an Expressive Therapist in the Day Treatment Program just as Valley Adult Counseling was merging with Riverside Community Care. After her internship, she “decided to stay because I saw that this was a special place, and I loved it here,” so in 1999, she joined the staff. After 10 years in Day Treatment, Sandy joined first the Outpatient team and, more recently, the Community Behavioral Health Center. Sandy has brought a thoughtful, creative, calming presence to the people she has served, frequently incorporating her background in art and yoga into her work. She has been an anchor to many over these 25 years, and we will miss her very much. Pictured below… Sandy with Program Director Marcel Descheneaux and Assistant Program Director Emily Bliss.

Cailey Bussiere began working at the Riverside Outpatient Center at Cambridge on the Lesley University campus about three months ago. Her practice is unique because she simultaneously draws on techniques from a variety of different approaches to find modalities that best suit the needs of each client. The outpatient center sees people from the Cambridge community in addition to Lesley University students. #lesleyuniversity #outpatientcenter
