During the latter months of 2022 I will be offering workshops to services working with female identifying survivors of recent and historical trauma. Working in small groups, providing psychoeducation about the impacts of trauma, a roadmap to recovery and utilising gentle art therapy processes, safety is created and enhanced by the following commitments:

  • Everyone is entitled to respect

  • Everyone is entitled to a voice

  • Decisions are made by mutual consent guided by principles of fairness

  • Power and responsibility are shared

Participating in a women’s group offers many riches

Evidence based research demonstrates that group have advantages to enhance recovery from trauma.

My groups are based on the work of Judith Herman and her book Group Trauma Treatment in Early Recovery Promoting Safety and Self-Care and offer:

  • Empowerment: peers support each other

  • Groups relieve isolation

  • Groups relieve shame

  • Groups offer a bridge to a new community

Each group workshop runs weekly for eight weeks, with the option to continue should the group and service so choose.
