I love that we’re resilient people.

After years of planning and anticipation, Milestones Resilience Care, operated by the Lyda Hill Institute for Human Resilience at UCCS, is now open and serving clients.  

The program initially welcomed a group of Veterans from UCHealth’s Next Chapter—a program designed to support Veterans who have experienced trauma. Since then, Milestones has opened its doors to anyone seeking to heal from trauma, stress, or burnout.

A Holistic Approach to Recovery

At the core of the Milestones philosophy is a focus on the complete person and empowering a core sense of agency in the healing process. The four pillars of trauma recovery consist of psychological strength, physical well-being, connectedness with others, and a sense of purpose and meaning. Through building resilience in these areas, clients gain a critical skill set to improve functional coping as they heal.

Personalized Healing Plans

Milestones takes a personalized approach to healing, with a team of trauma-trained providers who work with clients to develop a tailored healing plan. The clinic offers a range of therapies, including:

• Strength-based, trauma-specific psychotherapy
• Somatic therapies such as trauma-informed acupuncture, massage, and yoga
• Creative therapies including music, writing, and painting
• Outdoor immersion programs like equine-assisted therapy, forest therapy (shinrin yoku), and an integrated sensory experience

These therapies are strategically combined within each client’s plan to build a solid foundation for overcoming adversity and recovering from trauma. Technology is also used to enhance strength-building and recovery.

Empowering Clients

Milestones believes that healing is a dynamic process without a one-size-fits-all solution. The team works with clients to access their inner guide, empowering them to chart their own course to health and well-being. Clients have the power to select which services may work best within their personalized healing plan. 
 
Decades of research on trauma and resilience have provided a roadmap for overcoming its lasting impacts. By partnering with trauma-trained providers, Milestones clients can cultivate resilience and move beyond trauma, stress, or burnout to lead fulfilling lives.
