*Groups are currently being held at Community Concepts, Inc. 240 Bates Street location in Lewiston while renovations at our new center are completed.

Join us for our adult support and skills group, Tuesdays from 5:30-7:00PM, where you can learn and practice self-care skills, connect with others, and build resiliency. This group is intended for any adult impacted by the mass shooting on 10/25/2023. Led by MRC staff experienced in trauma recovery, you'll learn evidence-based techniques that integrate physical and emotional well-being. Our group guidelines can be viewed below. ASL interpretation is provided.

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

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.

Facilitator Guidance The trained facilitator maintains the group's structure and safety. Please respect their guidance and intervention when necessary.
