THANKS TO ALTA FOR MANY YEARS OF WORKING TOGETHER
We have just concluded our 31st healing event at Alta, UT. Throughout the past twenty years, the profound beauty of Alta has provided an incredible location for our Weekends of Recovery. This tranquil environment has allowed hundreds of survivors to discover more about their authentic self, connect with others, and thereby embrace the process of healing in community. We are forever grateful to the amazing staff at Alta Lodge, who have been reliable in all aspects of their service and who have actively nurtured our environment of community.
HONORING THE VOICES OF MEN WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED A WEEKEND OF RECOVERY
NEW ALUMNI PEER SUPPORT GROUPS OPEN FOR REGISTRATION
We are pleased to announce that we will be starting a new round of Alumni Peer Support Groups beginning in early November. The support groups are open to all Weekend of Recovery alumni and will run every other week for 15 sessions. Each group will be co-facilitated by alumni who have been specially trained as peer leaders. The peer leaders are supervised by licensed therapists who are part of the MenHealing network.
Contact Adam Frost, Support Group Project Manager
at adamfrost@menhealing.org if you are interested in attending. Previous participants in the peer support groups are welcome to apply; priority will be given to alumni who have not previously attended a group.
EXPANDING OUR OUTREACH
We are energized by increased inquiries for MenHealing personnel to provide presentations and trainings. Current collaborations are in process with organizations in Alaska, Ohio, Texas, and nationally. Contact us if you have a request for our participation in an event, conference, or staff training: jimstruve@menhealing.org
Starting in October, we will be reformatting some aspects of our outreach and engagement. This will include a change in frequency of our Newsletter from every two weeks to instead once monthly. STAY TUNED!!
Hope and healing for survivors is only possible because of financial support from individual grassroots donors like YOU. Consider becoming a HEALING HERO by becoming a monthly recurring donor at any amount of support.
Help us continue building the movement to end sexual violence.
TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER!
Remember, YOU can forward this newsletter to anyone or any organization that you think might be interested. Thanks for spreading the word!
