What Makes SIVA Different?
The SIVA model uniquely guides systemic thought and accountability while actively valuing individuals being supported to ensure sustainable change. The direction, flexibility and relatedness of the SIVA philosophy and guiding principles are seamlessly realized in clear and concise relationship-based programming that is easily adapted to any supportive environment. Whereas other programs focus primarily on crisis intervention and what can be done to or for individuals in times of crisis, we train professionals and families to understand that safety is a “felt” experience that is NOT achieved within the limitations of a crisis rather, true safety derives from the continuous development of trusted and empowering relationships withindividuals being supported. The knowledge and approach participants learn will continue to grow and advance with their supporting relationship.
