Our Fall support series is intended for any adult impacted by 10/25 - while attendance to all groups is encouraged, drop-ins are always welcome. Each week we will cover a different topic.
Led by MRC staff experienced in trauma recovery, you'll have an opportunity to share your experience, learn new skills to manage emotions and events, and learn from our facilitators and each other.

Group Guidelines
Confidentiality What is shared in the group stays in the group. Members should not discuss others' personal information outside the session or identify fellow participants to people outside the group. Voluntary Participation No one is required to share. Members can listen, participate in discussions, or simply be present without pressure to disclose personal information.
Respectful Communication Use "I" statements when sharing personal experiences. Avoid giving unsolicited advice, making judgments, or interrupting others. Allow each person to finish speaking before responding.
- No Crosstalk,
- Regular Attendance Encouraged - While drop-in groups allow flexibility, regular attendance when possible helps build trust and group cohesion,
- Time Boundaries - Respect start and end times. Share time equitably so everyone who wants to participate has opportunity to do so.
No Discrimination The group is a safe space regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, political views, or other personal characteristics.
Substance-Free Environment Members should not attend under the influence of drugs or alcohol, as this compromises the safety and effectiveness of the group.
Facilitator Guidance The trained facilitator maintains the group's structure and safety. Members should respect their guidance and intervention when necessary.
