Understanding and Addressing Trauma Among People Receiving Behavioral Health Services
Tuesday, November 9, 2-3:30pm EST
On Nov. 9, 2010, SAMHSA’s Co-Occurring Disorders Integration and Innovation and SAMHSA’s National Center
for Trauma-Informed Care will host a webinar to discuss the impact of trauma among people receiving behavioral health services
and concrete strategies for providing trauma-informed services for people with behavioral health disorders in a range of service
settings. According to most estimates, trauma is an almost universal experience among people who use public behavioral health
services or who are justice-involved or homeless. Risks associated with trauma include mental health problems, substance use,
impaired work performance, physical health problems, and higher mortality rates. Presenters will:
Define trauma-informed care, providing concrete examples of programs and systems that have worked to make this cultural
change.
Provide an overview of findings from the Adverse Childhood Events study, drawing a clear connection between childhood
trauma and a range of adverse physical and behavioral health outcomes in adulthood.
Discuss how a trauma-informed approach to service delivery for people with co-occurring disorders, including trauma-informed
support and engagement among peers, prevents re-traumatization and may prevent adverse outcomes of trauma.

WHEN LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH: THE LOIS WILSON STORY
Sunday, April 25 at 8 P.M. on CBS !!!
Please pass this on and put it on your calendars! Bill Borchert, who wrote "My Name is Bill W.," along with Camille
Thomasson, wrote the script. Bill knew Lois, and she praised his script for the "Bill W." production. This should be wonderful:
Hallmark Hall of Fame Presentation on the CBS, Sunday, April 25 at 8 P.M.
A new “Hallmark Hall of Fame” presentation starring Golden
Globe Award winner and two-time Academy Award nominee Winona Ryder. Spanning more than 30 years, this movie is based
on the true story of the enduring but troubled love between Lois Wilson, co-founder of Al-Anon, and her alcoholic husband
Bill Wilson, co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous.
A college-educated young woman from an affluent family, Lois Burnham spent her winters in New York and summers in Vermont,
where she began her deliriously happy courtship with Bill Wilson, a slightly younger man of modest means. She married
Bill in 1918, and, after his return from duty at the end of WWI, the two set out to build a life together in New York
City. While Lois worked as an occupational therapist at Bellevue Hospital, Bill struggled to find his niche. Lois
strongly believed, however, that Bill was destined for greatness, and despite noticing an increase in his drinking habits,
she showered him with love and support. Eventually, Lois persuaded a friend’s husband to hire Bill at his financial
firm. By 1927, Bill was a lucrative securities analyst on Wall Street and the couple was living a luxurious lifestyle.
Despite Lois’ countless efforts to control his drinking, Bill’s addiction to alcohol spiraled further and
further out of control until his job, their lifestyle and dreams were gone.
In 1935, after years of unsuccessfully struggling to cover for Bill and manage his disease, Lois finally saw him
take control of his alcoholism; however, his sobriety was not the result of Lois’s help, rather it came through the
support of a fellow recovering alcoholic, Dr. Bob Smith. As Bill and Bob attained lasting sobriety and co-founded Alcoholics
Anonymous, Lois began to question the value she had in her own marriage. After devoting 17 years to healing her sick
husband, Lois felt isolated and resentful that he was sober without her help. Lois eventually discovered that she was not
alone. She slowly engaged the wives of the men in Bill’s program and came to realize that while Bill was addicted
to alcohol, she was addicted to him - and that the family and friends of alcoholics are, in some ways, as sick as their loved
ones. Lois gained the necessary understanding needed to repair her fractured relationship and to help millions of others
do the same. She co-founded Al-Anon in 1951.
‘we can become grateful to those people who have shown us what we don’t want,
the ones who have assisted us in the process of believing we deserve love, and the ones who come into our life to love us.’
P. 111, The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie
