Building Healthy Relationships
Creating Stronger Connections. Relationships can help us grow, heal, and thrive. In this class, we’ll talk about what makes relationships healthy, how to communicate effectively, set boundaries, build trust, and handle conflict in positive ways. Whether it’s family, friends, partners, or peers, you’ll gain tools to create stronger, healthier connections.

Connection & Reflection
The goal of this class is to create the foundation for a safe, healing, and supportive atmosphere where peers can be vulnerable and feel comfortable sharing, creating, connecting, and expressing themselves through different modes of self- expression in every class (creative writing, art therapy, open mic, movement, etc.) The objective of this class is to […]

Together, we’ll discover small ways to move toward hope with greater courage, connection, and purpose.
