Finding Ground

Experiencing something overwhelming can affect your sense of safety, focus, sleep, mood, and connection with others. Whether your experience was recent or ongoing, big or hard to name, you deserve support. This weekly group offers a structured, trauma informed space to: steady your nervous system, feel less alone, learn practical coping tools, and receive support from others. You can expect a calm and structured space led by a trauma specialist, practical tools to help your body and mind settle, and support from others who understand.

Root and Grow is offering all community members impacted by the recent shooting at Brown University sessions pro bono and discounted sessions for the Spring semester. We are also offering a free support group for those impacted.
