JUST HEALING PODCAST TO RETURN AT THE END OF MARCH
You may have noticed that February came and went without a new episode of JUST HEALING! Due to some guest scheduling issues and a switch to a new and improved recording platform, we unfortunately had to postpone our latest episode. JUST HEALING will return at the end of March! In the meantime, catch up on episodes 1-5 here.
UPDATE ABOUT SUPPORT GROUPS PROJECT
We are excited about the success of the Support Groups Project, which was launched in 2021. Adam Frost (WOR Alumnus) is the Support Group Project Manager. During the last two years, we have offered seven Alumni Support Groups. Groups meet for fifteen ninety-minute sessions over the span of thirty weeks, each series of groups co-facilitated by Alumni who have been trained as Peer Leaders. On-going supervision is provided by Diana Thomas (WOR Facilitator). Amy Ellis (Nova University) and Jim Struve (MenHealing ED) are the other members of the project management team.
