If you are struggling with thoughts of harming yourself, please know that you are not alone.

For many people, self-harm becomes a way to cope with overwhelming emotions, trauma, or deep distress. It is not a sign of weakness. Often, it is a sign that someone is carrying more pain than they were meant to carry alone.

Support can make a difference.

Speaking with a trusted friend, therapist, counselor, or support line may help you feel less alone and begin exploring safer ways to cope.

If you or someone you know may be in immediate danger, please seek emergency support right away.

Art can hold what feels too heavy for words.

In our Winter 2026 issue of Creating Refuge, the featured artwork series Finding Your Way explores healing through creative expression. Through color, texture, and movement, the artist reflects on safety, growth, and becoming.

Healing is not linear. It unfolds gently — sometimes in silence, sometimes in bold strokes.

The magazine launched February 20 and is now available.

March invites us to pause and reflect on the women who shaped our stories.

The mothers.
The mentors.
The therapists.
The friends.

The ones who modeled strength, protection, and presence — even while healing themselves.

This Women’s History Month, we honor the women who held space for us.
And the women we are still becoming.

There are seasons when we need more than knowledge and awareness.
We need refuge.

Created with intention.
Designed with space to breathe.
Shaped by thoughtful voices.

✨ Introducing: The Trauma Recovery Toolkit ✨

Healing doesn’t need to be rushed.
And it doesn’t need to happen alone.

The Trauma Recovery Toolkit is a gentle, self-paced digital workbook designed to support you as you move through healing in a way that feels safe and grounded.

Inside, you’ll find tools to help you:

• Reflect through trauma-informed journaling
• Recognize patterns and triggers with curiosity, not judgment
• Track your healing progress week by week
• Practice grounding and self-compassion
• Build a realistic personal safety plan
• Create a self-care routine that fits your real life

This toolkit isn’t a replacement for therapy.
It’s a supportive companion—between sessions or as a gentle place to begin.

You deserve support that honors your pace, boundaries, and resilience.

✨ Available now in our store

At Chicago Healing Connection, we see how these skills support resilience, grounding, and trauma-informed coping, especially as women navigate the social and political pressures of today’s world.

Vacations tend to turn the volume up on everything—connection, joy, stress, and unresolved tension.

In a recent Fodor’s Travel feature, CHC’s own founder, Robin Shannon, shares why travel can feel especially hard on relationships—and why those moments don’t mean failure.

Travel doesn’t create the cracks.
It reveals where care, communication, and repair are needed.

If traveling together felt tense or disconnecting, you’re not alone. We’re happy to support you in strengthening your relationship.
