Madison Lewis and Jessica Carpenter, counseling interns with the HeartLight Center, are offering a workshop with specialized support for families of victims who have experienced the death of a special person in their life due to homicide. We will discuss the impact this type of loss can have on your nervous system and offer resources for self-regulation, self-care techniques and activities that can help you with taking good and gentle care during your grief journey with this unique loss.
