Safe Communities will offer a new three-session virtual workshop to mitigate the stress and angst caused by COVID-19 pandemic. Anxiety and increased stress are widespread, and people who have experienced other kinds of trauma are particularly vulnerable.
The "Healing Forward: Recharge, Restore, Rebuild" workshop will present a holistic healing approach and is designed for anyone who would like to reduce stress and explore ways to calm the body and the mind. The sessions will be offered from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Thursdays, March 25 to April 8.
The series will offer a place to express thoughts, experience community, and know that one is not alone in his or her experiences. The series will help participants understand how trauma alters the brain and leads to dysregulation and recognize that change is possible through repeated exercises and practices. Participants will learn creative techniques that can be incorporated in their daily lives to promote self-regulation, control emotions and reactions, and improve the healing process. The group will also allow members to begin to establish a network of like-minded people.
There is a fee for the series. Readers may visit http://www.safecommunitiespa.org to register. For more details, readers may also contact Neeta Dedhia, facilitator, at 717-560-9989 or info@safecommunitiespa.org.
