Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let's talk about recovery from trauma. This is West Michigan's
Morning News Steve Kelly, Brett Bakita, and Laurence Smith. The
vice president and Department Chief of Behavioral Health at core
Well Health is doctor Sibod Jane on the liveline with
us this morning. Doctor, thanks for doing this.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Today, Thank you for having me.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
So why is.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Corenwell Health opening a trauma recovery center? Who is it
designed to help?

Speaker 2 (00:25):
We are very excited that we have an ability to
serve the people who are actually victims of intimate partner
violence and have they experience a lot of socio economic, social,
emotional problems. Even then the victims of stranger violence, saying
that these victims could be assaulted through as a sexual assault,

(00:55):
victims of violence involving a firearm, and a lot of
these victims also result in seeking medical treatments for injuries.
So we see all these patients at Corbal Health and
we have realized that the psychological trauma associated with this
which can turn into a chronic post traumatic stress disorder.

(01:18):
We would like to help these patients as soon as
possible so that the other physical health problems, emotional health
problems are not exacerbated after that.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
You know, doctor Jane, we hear are the percentages and
it is really jarring, especially when it comes to domestic violence.
What would you say to someone who's experienced that, now
that you're looking at the psychological side of this as
well as the physical side, do you see that bringing
more people through your doors with this new program?

Speaker 2 (01:47):
We would say that about there is ample evidence out
there that the trauma of victims, if they get the
health early on, can have amazing recovery compared to the
ones who do not get the help. So, for example,
we provide the model provides about sixteen sessions of treatment,

(02:13):
and there is enough data through National Association of Trauma
Recovery Centers that there is forty four percent decrease in
symptoms of PTSD, there is a forty three percent decrease
in symptoms of depression, and about ninety six percent of
the patients who receive this care feel better emotionally. There's

(02:35):
eighty nine percent reduction in ability to reduce our copri
with substance use. So there is a significant improvement in
activity of daily living, in their quality of life, in
their personal relationships, and overall physical health.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Incredible I'm reading from Corewyll Health that those services can
be free. How does that work?

Speaker 2 (02:56):
We are very fortunate that we have a grant from
the state which is in partnership with National Association of
Trauma Recovery Center. This is the first of its kind
in West Michigan, and that grant will cover up to
sixteen sessions as I mentioned before, for somebody who has
been exposed to acute trauma. So patients can just make

(03:20):
a referral, either they can sell refer or one of
our clinics or social workers, and we can cover them
for the early and acute stage of trauma.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Doctor Jane, You know, I think with behavioral health and
mental health, the big thing is just stepping forward, right,
and I think people are becoming more comfortable with that.
How does someone or if you know someone they could
use these services, how do they go about setting up
an appointment?

Speaker 2 (03:43):
So we do have multiple clinics. This clinic is located
at seventy five Sheldon. It's also co located with our
addiction medicine specialists as well as a Center for Integrative
Medicine long with community medicine clinics. A lot of referrals
actually come from our internal clinics. We also have a

(04:04):
multidiscipline trauma clinic where the arts of trauma, neurotrauma, the
patients who receive the first medical treatment. They have been
referring these patients to us and the patient can actually
are the family members can actually call our clinics at

(04:26):
this number six one six eight and that can provide
them some services or at least connect them with the
right person.
