🤍 Survivors of Stalking Support Group 🤍

You are NOT alone if you’ve survived stalking - and you deserve to heal. This 10-week long, confidential support group is for people of all gender identities who are no longer experiencing a stalking situation, but may still need coping strategies to navigate the aftermath of stalking. This group will hold space for survivors to openly express hardships, successes, and feelings as a means to process what you have endured. By sharing and connecting with others who have had similar experiences, you can receive emotional support, decrease feelings of isolation, and find community. Join this group and begin or continue your healing journey as a survivor-to-thriver!

➡️This group begins September 17th at 6PM.
➡️There is a $5-$10 suggested donation.
➡️Sign up on the website starting next week to hold your space and learn more.

Please reach out with any questions, comments or concerns before then and share with loved ones that you know could use this support.

Come spend an hour in the salt room as Alison leads you through a deep relaxation meditation and breathing session. It’s the perfect way to unwind after a long week.

This is a month that is near and dear to so many of us. If you are not one that has been effected by su***de, or had your own su***de thoughts, according to statistics, someone in your direct circle has.

Providing a community, safe space and a true understanding and awareness of what leads to suicidal thoughts and actions is how we continue to combat the stigma behind mental health.

Please support our mission by heading to our website linked in the bio AND by continuing to check in on your loved ones.

We got our photos back from the grand opening of Safe Space and we are so excited to share how far we have come.

Starting with the People 💛

From the very beginning of this Mission, the right people have seemed to just step forward at the right time. I have found that many are drawn to the Mission of Safe Space for their own personal reasons but because Mental Health is so broad and because we ALL have a story of our own, we get many individuals that reach out as say they just want to help.

The support that we feel on a daily basis is endless and these photos just show a few of the individuals that have supported us up to this point.

Thank you to the Board, our volunteers, our furniture supporters, our friends and our community.

Continuing our Board Series on:

“Why Safe Space?”

We have found that we are all drawn to this mission for a very unique reason and are incredibly grateful for our board members sharing a piece of themselves with our community.

Thank you Marissa for your thoughts 💭🤍
