Hope & Healing Program

Introducing our Hope & Healing Program

View our current Hope & Healing Offerings
Survivors and their loved ones are asking for more programs that foster a sense of hope and healing, resilience, peer connection, and the opportunity to create social change. When survivors speak, we listen - and we are working hard to be responsive to your needs.

​We also know that it is important to offer programs that are created for and led by survivors from historically excluded communities. We know that when given the opportunity to come together, communities have the power to heal each other.
​

To this end, we are thrilled to announce our new Hope and Healing Program.  This program expands our offerings in these areas, including creating meaningful healing spaces and activities for BIPOC, LGBTQ, male, and other underrepresented survivor groups. Programs include traditional and cultural support group offerings and new experiential groups, such as yoga classes, book clubs, and art and writing groups.  We hope to eventually add a survivor action committee to empower survivors through public speaking, community awareness and engagement events. ​

    When survivors speak, we listen.

    Provide suggestions for types of groups and programs you would like to see us offer to support your healing!


    If you would like us to notify you if your suggested program or group becomes available, please fill out the section below:
