Blossom in Community
As Catalina shared in last week's blog, Navigating Your Unique Path of Healing, healing is something we understand deeply at The Turning Point. Beyond our doors, in your community, you'll find many beautiful places where healing exists. We recognize that stepping into the community after trauma can be challenging, yet it is within these spaces that resilience truly blossoms. Often communities provide the foundation for safety, trust, and empowerment. We encourage you to join us at 'Our Community Supports Survivors: Blossoming Beyond,' an event crafted with care and encouragement. Together, we celebrate the strength that comes from shared experiences, acknowledging that healing is not a solitary pursuit but a collective journey. Your presence and the power of our coming together will show how strong and resilient we can be. Embrace every part of who you are, and let this event be a step towards finding peace and healing.
