"Forgiveness"
Wednesday, July 15
The Healing Center (611 W. National Ave.)
5:30 - 7:30 p.m.
Survivors are often pressured by others (or themselves) to forgive their abusers and those who did not protect them in times of need. Forgiveness or “letting go” are processes that cannot be forced and usually come at the end of the stages of grief and loss. We will explore these processes in depth.
This program is part of The Healing Center's "Topic Nights," a series of free informational sessions for survivors, their loved ones and service providers (or anyone inclined to help). Participants must call ahead to register at (414) 671-4325.
"Stages of Grief/Loss in Sexual Assault Healing"
Wednesday, June 10
The Healing Center (611 W. National Ave.)
5:30 - 7:30 p.m.
The healing process involves getting in touch with various feelings and processing them in new ways. Anger, sadness and denial are steps along the path to becoming more at peace as a survivor. We will talk about each of these “stages of grief” and how they work for survivors of sexual abuse/assault. We will also offer suggestions for facilitating healing along the way.
This program is part of The Healing Center's "Topic Nights," a series of free informational sessions for survivors, their loved ones and service providers (or anyone inclined to help). Participants must call ahead to register at (414) 671-4325.
