Foundations for Healing

This support group is open anyone seeking understanding and healing for themselves, their partners and their families due to harm they have caused through:

  • physical acts of aggression and violence, whether or not charges were sought

  • controlling, jealous or possessive behaviors

  • thoughts that your relationship is heading in an unhealthy direction.

Many people who struggle in their relationships are unaware of how past traumas have affected their current state. Understanding the link between trauma and conflict, violence, and anger is key to the healing process.

 

This class will give you a good understanding of how you got where you are so you can hold yourself accountable for the harm you have caused and begin to heal yourself and your relationships. Tools to support healthy relationships and build resilience will be shared.

HOPE 4 the Future

Umoja's HOPE (Healing Our Past Experiences) 4 the Future is a free after school and summer camp for school aged children and teens. It provides a safe space for youth to gather, unpack and begin healing from trauma through the Arts.

 

This program is trauma-informed, culturally aligned and knows that by reaching these youth now, they are more likely to avoid maladaptive ways of coping later on. The youth get snacks, homework tutoring and opportunities for dance, making beats in the studio and access to the weight room. 

​

All after school and summer camps require registration by a parent or guardian.
