Parents of Children with Trauma Support Group

Art Expression
Some foster / kinship children struggle with expressing their emotions especially the big ones. Some of this is due to not having a working knowledge of emotions. In Art therapy, children will learn how to express their feelings with art. They will also be using sensory to help ground those feelings.
We are adding to the art therapy with Crafting to the class. Crafting helps the kids learn a skill, relieve stress, helps them ground, and gives a sense of accomplishment.
This is open to 8+ years of age.
BOXING / Kids Movement Class
Does your child struggle with self esteem and they need to get their power back from their past? This class will focus on building up the self by showing them how to defend themselves as well as get exercise and an outlet for big feelings. Boxing handles all of the above.
Once they are excited and relieved the stress safely, we use yoga techniques of breathing and stretching to learn how to regulate back down. Regulation occurs by not only to just tell them what to do, but to do it. The next time they are struggling with energy level, they will know how this works for them.
This class is open for 8+ years of age.
Life Skills Workshops
Our Life Skills Program equips teens with the practical abilities they need to thrive as they grow toward independence. From financial literacy to healthy relationships, cooking basics to job readiness – we focus on the real-world skills that build confidence and capability.
