In this six-week counseling group, participants can expect to engage one another on topics of safety in body, mind, relationships and environment. Trauma Healing Basics 1 offers foundational skills related to coping with upsetting circumstances and overwhelming emotions. Participants will develop a larger emotional vocabulary and learn how to express beliefs and needs more effectively. This is a closed group where participants can share personal experiences and receive support in a non-judgmental, and confidential setting. Women and members of the gender-expansive community who reside in Charlottesville, and the counties of Albemarle, Greene, Fluvanna, Nelson, and Louisa are invited to join. Facilitated by Kara Castle, LCSW, and Andrea Fasciano, M.Ed. candidate and counseling intern.
