Busara Tour, Step One - Entering Busara
Home brings with it so many different connotations. Especially during the Holidays, we may feel excited, wistful, disappointed or the memories may just be too much and distraction my be just an easier way to get through until January. Busara is a home where hope is renewed, memories are made, and recovery steps are supported. Somehow these things feel all the more important during this Season.
Busara is an innovative, personalized, caring, and clinically attuned home where its six community members are safe to continue the transformation process that began in treatment and to support their fellow residents as they make changes. Each resident recognizes that allowing themselves the time and space to become more deeply grounded and proficient in therapeutic skills and life management techniques maximizes the opportunity for long term life success, however, it is defined for each woman.
Our staff are women who understand that healing takes both time and expertise. Each of our House Managers is a Master’s level clinician; they are present every day to encourage, facilitate and provide feedback to each resident. They are women of determination as well.
The underlying therapeutic foundation of Busara is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). This model allows us to provide a level of individualized structure, education and skill refinement that is extremely unusual in aftercare programming. Additionally, having a founder and administrator who is a seasoned Clinical Psychologist sets Busara apart in an even more significant way.
Women typically stay at Busara somewhere between three and six months, recognizing that longlasting change is measured in years, not 45 or even 60 days. Our goal for each Busara resident is to achieve wisdom, confidence, and accomplishment in a way that acknowledges hard work and takes delight in its outcome.
There are many ways to be home - Busara is just one way. Celebrate what home means to you and those who make up your home. www.mybusara.com
