Supports Groups Offered

Support and educational groups meet at the Family Resource Center ANNEX or Virtually on Zoom at various times each week in order to meet the needs of families in our community. Check under the events tab for more information. Here are the current groups:

Grief Support Group – See Flyer at bottom of page

Coping with Grief…

• One of the critical factors in healing from grief is the support of other people.
• Having support from your family, friends, or a community of others who have also experienced grief allows you to feel that someone else “gets it.”
• Being able to share your story or your feelings is vital to the healing process.
• If this feels intimidating, remember that you can attend a grief support group and just listen.
• You won’t be forced to speak until you’re comfortable, and you may draw comfort from being in a community of others who have some understanding of the depth of your grief.

Trauma-Informed Yoga & Meditation Series– Beginning August 28th, See Flyers at bottom of page!

It’s no secret that yoga does wonders for the body and can calm the mind...

The objective of trauma-informed yoga is to help participants:

• Increase their body awareness.
• Notice what is happening inside their bodies 
• Learn to release tension.
• Reduce fight or flight physiological responses. 
• Develop a greater capacity to cope.
• And ultimately create a greater sense of wholeness, wellness and connection to mind-body-spirit.

How Does the Group Meet?

At this time the sessions are not available in person.  This is an 8-week pre-recorded series.

•  Participants can do the yoga video each week at a time that is best for their schedule.
• This allows clients to be in the comfort of their home and ability to set their own schedule.

Who Can attend the Virtual Group Sessions?

Any teen (with guardian's signed consent) or adult survivor with one or more Adverse Childhood Experiences, and other professionals experiencing secondary trauma or burnout.

How Much Does It Cost?

There is no cost to attend, but advance registration is required to receive the email with the information and video from the therapist.

Class is taught by Victoria Nolen, licensed counselor, certified yoga instructor and trauma-informed psychotherapist.
