A Recovery Workshop for Female and Male Survivors
With Mike Lew (assisted by Patricia Stout, LCSW)
The past years have seen great positive change for people in recovery from childhood trauma. No longer forced to suffer alone, survivors and allies continue to develop resources and support systems that move the recovery process forward. We are fortunate to have a world-renowned facilitator in this field available for this day of healing. Group size is limited. Early registration recommended.
This full day workshop in beautiful Abita Springs, Louisiana is for non-offending adult female and male survivors of sexual child abuse and other sexual trauma. Our goal is to offer a recovery experience in a safe, powerful environment of shared healing. The Women's Center for Healing & Transformation is a welcoming historic building and an intentional space ideal for this purpose.
The workshop/day retreat will provide a variety of healing activities: sharing, writing exercises, emotional expression, group discussion, relaxation and even fun in a safe, nurturing environment. Opportunities will be available for men's and women's small groups as well as the benefit of being in group together as survivors across gender.
This event for men and women actively engaged in recovery work is not a substitute for therapy. A letter of recommendation from a therapist/counselor must accompany one's registration. Space is limited, so please try to register early to secure your place. (Previous workshops around the country have had full registration and a waiting list.)
Considerable attention has been paid to creating a safe, nurturing environment respectful of participants' needs. The workshop focuses on the reality of recovery as revealed by survivors.
Led by Mike Lew, M.Ed.of The Next Step Counseling in Easthampton, MA. Mike is the author of Victims No Longer: The Classic Guide for Men Recovering from Sexual Child Abuse, and Leaping Upon the Mountains: Men Proclaiming Victory Over Sexual Child Abuse. Lew's book may be purchased online here or at the local Barnes and Noble. See Mandeville store location info here
