 sexual abuse group::wounded heart

Trying to forget doesn't work. If you are a survivor of sexual abuse it can leave you feeling isolated, anxious, and depressed. We will be gathering at 6:30p Sunday evenings during the first service, where we will begin to face the past together.  Through sharing our experiences and learning from the past we can increase knowledge and solidify hope. This group is confidential and will close to new people after 1 week. 

MaryBeth Griffis, a licensed mental health counselor, and Beth Key, a master's level trained counselor, will be facilitating this group.  If you would like to sign up or if you want more information, you can email them at woundedheart@whatsyourstatus.com
