Join us for the JCADA Fall Mindfulness Group! Each 45-minute session will include guided mindfulness practices designed to support nervous system regulation, enhance resilience, and cultivate connection. Together, we'll explore gentle practices including breathing exercises, short meditations, mindful stretching, contemplative readings, and opportunities for reflection. Come as you are and participate in whatever way feels comfortable for you. All survivors are welcome — no mindfulness or previous meditation experience required.
Understanding Our Trauma Responses and Survival Brain
Thursday - October 15th, 1-2:30 PM
This 90-minute trauma-informed workshop explores how experiences of abuse can impact the nervous system and shape responses such as fight, flight, freeze, hypervigilance and disconnection. Together, we'll challenge shame, self-blame, explore the difference between trauma responses and identity, and build a more compassionate understanding of the ways our minds and bodies respond to threat and work toward healing.
