Journeys
09/20/2022-present
Journeys is a healing group for all kinds of hurts and hang ups. I work with the youth while their parents were in their healing groups. We did he same work that the parents do but on a level that youth would enjoy and understand. I have lead the elementary school, high school healing groups and am currently leading the middle school group. We talk about ways to help work through anger, grief, stress, and more emotions that come up when dealing with hurts and hang ups. Being there for the youth and becoming a safe place for them to come and express their thoughts and feelings that they can't always share. I worked with the elementary kids in 2020 before I left for school in Bemidji.
