Trauma and addiction are often linked to each other. Addiction frequently occurs as a result of trauma and related mental health disorders associated with trauma. Additionally, individuals who engage in risky and harmful behaviors as a result of substance use are more likely to experience a traumatic event as a result of such behaviors. In this instance, trauma can be an outcome of substance abuse.

Please come out and join the conversation about Mental Health, Addiction, and Trauma.

Community Partnership Luncheon

Grief is the normal process of reacting to a loss.  It is the rollercoaster of emotions we feel when we lose something of value we did not want to lose.  Grieving comes from the Latin word "gravare" which means to burden or make feel heavy.  And that’s what we feel – weighed down.  We feel burdened.

Our Grief and Loss "Remembering the Good Times" discussion will be co-facilitated by Robin Hornstra, LCSW, RPT. Robin Hornstra has been a LSCW since 1996 and most of her experience has been with children and families. She has a clear understanding of working with individuals who struggle with trauma, grief and loss.

Also co-facilitating the conversation will be Pastor Robert Winfree who teaches "you cannot love others until you love yourself", when that happens the healing can start". Using scripture, he guides individuals through the grief and loss process.
