Project Goal, Services, and Strategies
The BTG interns worked with the staff of People with Hope to identify and address the current needs of the unit’s residents.
Personal Statements
“It has been a privilege to be welcomed into the clients’ lives and trusted with their stories. Witnessing first hand trauma, adversity, resilience, and recovery has been eye-opening and motivates me to work to become a compassionate professional that is best equipped to meet my patient’s needs.” - Aisha Uddin
“My experience at Gaudenzia has opened my eyes not only to the multiple dimensions of addiction, but also to the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in any successful treatment plan. I have learned that addiction cripples the lives of real people, real mothers, real children, and that one must always look at each individual story as unique. Professionally, I know my experience with the BTG CHIP will help mold me into a physician who is sensitive to the clinical needs of my future patients, but also one who can equip them with tools to address practical challenges they might face day to day.” -Chinwendu Opara
