Groups
Unspoken Stressors And First Responders
Starting in December, these groups will run every Friday, from 12pm-1pm. These groups will not be like your typical group therapy. Rather, it will just be conversational, between whoever is attending and the Instructor. We will go into topics that are lesser known, but equally as impactful for First Responders.. Such topics will include: guilt, ego, identity, sleeping patterns, post traumatic growth. The instructor has personally chosen areas that he has experienced personally.
