🦋 Next month, we're offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space for adults who are navigating life after domestic violence while also caring for children.

💚 Together, we will explore how experiences of harm and disruption can impact both you and your child, and how healing can happen through safety, connection, and support.

👩‍👦 Participants will gain practical, trauma-informed tools to support emotional regulation, rebuild a sense of safety, and strengthen the parent-child relationship.

💪 We will focus on understanding children’s responses to stress and trauma, responding in ways that foster security and trust, caring for your own nervous system alongside your child’s, and connecting with community resources that can support you.

✨ This workshop centers your autonomy and honors your pace. There is no expectation to share personal details. Participants are invited to engage in ways that feel most comfortable.
