Ravenwood Health

Ravenwood Health is a private nonprofit, Trauma Informed Agency that strives to provide a safe and compassionate community that supports and respects the unique journey of each person’s path to healing, creating hope for all those who walk through our doors.

We build hope, empower individuals and families, and strengthen our neighborhoods through mental health and addiction services.

Trauma Informed Care is an organizational structure and treatment framework that involves understanding, recognizing, and responding to the effects of all types of trauma. Trauma Informed Care also emphasizes physical, psychological and emotional safety for both consumers and providers, and helps survivors rebuild a sense of control and empowerment.

“Being trauma informed means that we don’t dictate or preach, but instead invite traumatized individuals to become active participants in their own healing. We can accomplish this by engaging participants in sensory-based and mind-body activities that encourage exploration of trauma themes, such as worry, hurt and anger that are impacting their lives. We strive to move participants from victim to survivor thinking as they participate in individual or group activities” (Dr. Caelan Kuban, 2013).

Funding is provided by the Geauga County Board of Mental Health and Recovery Services and the United Way Services Geauga.
