As many of us know, experiencing the loss of a loved one is devastating. Losing someone suddenly as a result of homicide creates a level of trauma that impacts the Mind, Body, and Soul. This program was created to provide a safe and supportive space for healing, connection, movement, and emotional wellness for mothers and children alike. While mothers focus on this restorative program, children will engage in age-appropriate mindfulness activities.
