    Community Conversations: Growing Beyond Trauma

    Connect and be inspired. Share your thoughts and hear about others’ experiences. Learn about coping skills, support systems, and what you can and cannot control. Community dialogue has the power to shift things. As we get educated in public, transformation occurs. Workshops are for nonprofits, businesses, schools, professional development and individual. Designed for long term healing, not for emergencies. Schedule a free consult for more.
