Healing the Heart

This group is for students who have experienced trauma from other people (i.e. family of origin, experiences of interpersonal violence, etc). If we’ve experienced harm or trauma in relationships, healing can often come from healthy relationships. This group will give students an opportunity to learn and implement various coping skills as well as connect with others who have shared experiences in their own lives. This group aims to instill hope in its participants as we work, learn, and grow in a supportive community space.
