With the guidance of staff, as well as workplace mentors, students learn profound experiential lessons from both their successes and their setbacks. Once a young woman transitions to the apartments in Sugar Land, she has the option of pursuing paid employment in the community. Students are responsible for identifying and pursuing job prospects with the support of Fulshear staff. We encourage young women to pursue employment based on a balance of factors, including: related experience or education, availability, pay, relevance to passions and future plans, etc. Work options in Sugar Land are abundant and varied and may include jobs professional offices, at schools, in hotels or restaurants, and so on. This takes her learning of workplace skills to the next level. By earning a wage, keeping a bank account, and managing her own finances, she develops a critical appreciation for the connection between work life and personal life. By the time our students graduate from Fulshear, they have developed not only a vision and plan for their career, but the skills to pursue it.

Rewiring Neurons in Young Women with PTSD Therapists can help this neural "reprogramming" along by creating a safe, affirming, supportive context in which the young-adult trauma victim can explore past events but have a different emotional experience when they do this exploration. This helps the young woman re-experience previously traumatizing experiences without feeling overwhelmed emotionally. A Parallel Process for Treating Parent/Child PTSD It can be so difficult for a parent to process their child’s trauma that they may unwittingly minimize and deny the severity of the situation—it’s just too much to take in. When this is the case, parents may miss the forest for the trees, i.e. they may unintentionally ignore the underlying trauma in favor of a myopic, but perhaps less disturbing, focus on acting out behaviors that are merely symptomatic of the trauma. Their daughter's distance, anger, anxiety, and situational avoidance may distract the parent from the painful cause of these symptoms. Parenting and Family Life: Volunteering While many teens initially view community service as an unwelcome chore, it becomes a highlight for many students over the course of treatment.
