Coping strategies are our body's way of keeping us safe from further trauma. Unfortunately our body doesn't always know the difference between a HEALTHY strategy and an UNHEALTHY one. It will reach for ANYTHING it thinks will keep trauma and it's aftermath at bay.

If you're finding yourself using strategies that may not be the best for your overall wellbeing, we have a special weekend coming up that can help!

Registration is now OPEN for our next retreat weekend. This retreat is specially designed for those who have a history of any trauma and may have unhealthy coping habits that they need help to break.

Even if you have questions about whether this retreat is right for you, use the registration form to tell us about yourself and we can help you decide if this is something you should attend.

In our intensive Kids Summer Program we use games, team-building projects and activities, crafts, groups discussions, and more to learn about managing emotions, social skills, and communication skills. Your child will learn how to express both big and small emotions, communicate with peers, understand expected/unexpected behaviors, and much more all while having tons of fun! The week ends with a parent/caregiver wrap up to help families introduce the learning from the week into their homes.

This program is run by Michelle Catania, LMFT and Genaro Adrian, Ph. D who have decades of experience working with children with a variety of emotional and behavioral challenges. Children will be broken up by age and developmentally-targeted groups at times during the each day.

Our Women's Only Group meets today! If you're missing it, put it on your calendar for next week and feel free to bring someone with you! This is a drop-in, no commitment group that focuses on women's issues and the everyday struggles of dealing with trauma. Do yourself a favor and check it out!
