Ms. Schilling is also a trauma integration specialist for Institute for Health and Recovery (IHR), where she provides human service program employees with training and technical assistance to enhance their ability to deliver integrated survivor centered/trauma-informed care to women affected by violence, sexual assault, trauma, substance use, and mental health problems.
From 2004 to 2008, Ms. Schilling was the director of IHR's Project WAVE (Women Achieving Vital Empowerment), a SAMHSA/CSAT-targeted capacity expansion grant to provide onsite substance abuse and co-occurring disorder treatment services to women seeking services at domestic violence/sexual assault agencies. A descriptive monograph titled Project WAVE: An Initiative To Embed Substance Use/Co-Occurring Disorder Services into Domestic Violence Settings became a product of WAVE. Ms. Schilling was the lead facilitator for IHR's WELL Project at Gosnold, which was one of the Women, Co-occurring Disorders and Violence Study sites. Ms. Schilling has presented at conferences and workshops in California, Florida, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Texas, Wisconsin, and Washington, D.C.
