New virtual HEART Group
(Healing from Emotional Anger and Relational Trauma)
Wednesday evenings - April 19 through June 7 @ 7:30pm ET
Who's in Control – You or Your Anger?
In this eight-week virtual group, we will distinguish between appropriate and inappropriate expressions of anger while exploring the hidden emotions behind the anger particularly in view of relational trauma.
FamilyKind offers a Secondary Trauma support group for professionals
Secondary Trauma is Real.
For the divorce professional (lawyers, mental health practitioners, financial planners, educators, mediators and more), our work can leave us susceptible to physical and emotional symptoms, impacting us in very distressing ways and leaving us feeling alone and isolated.
Our monthly group can be helpful in coping with our trauma as well as connecting and sharing with others that are in similar situations, as this is the nature of the work.
Join our wonderful, dedicated Secondary Trauma Group leaders Diane Hesseman and Nancy Nybergh who provide a safe space to explore ways to take care of ourselves on many different levels.
For more information, please contact us at Info@familykind.org.
