The SAGE Satellite Sexual Trauma Counseling
(SSTC) Program provides trauma and drug-treatment services
to women and girls who are also receiving services from other
programs or agencies in the community. SSTC also reaches out
to individuals who are incarcerated, or who are currently
in treatment within in-patient substance abuse recovery programs
or “Detox” programs.
SSTC provides education and peer counseling groups within
the jail and recovery systems on topics including rape and
molestation, boundaries, relationships, substance abuse, prostitution,
trauma recovery and domestic violence. SSTC also provides
individual case management to women in custody, involving
“one-to-one” counseling, assistance with writing
letters for court, advocacy, referrals to residential programs
or for housing, shelters, or medical care.
Individual case management allows for the creation of "exit
plans" for each client to support physical security,
substance abuse recovery and sobriety, and the creation of
a safety net of resources and referrals to prevent future
relapse, victimization, or incarceration.
SSTC clients in-custody can also potentially be referred to
the STAR Center, SAGE’s day treatment program for trauma
and substance abuse recovery, upon release. In some cases,
SSTC staff are able to facilitate a client's introduction
to the full range of services and resources available at SAGE.

program director.
