Building Community
Salasin offers ongoing groups where you can meet other people with similar experiences. Groups are free, confidential and are judgment free zones.
The Nurturing Program
The Nurturing Program is a 16 week, evidence based discussion group designed to offer adult caregivers information about human growth and development. The group explores the impact of substance use and domestic violence on children and families. The topics from week to week are designed to strengthen the positive self-esteem of participants and to encourage strength-based models for guiding behaviors in children. The group also creates opportunities for participants to understand and build their own emotional health as well as the emotional wellbeing of their children.
This is an approved parent education class for the Department of Children & Families
Open enrollment. Meets weekly.
To register or request more information contact Miguel at (413) 774-4307 ext. 106
Beyond Trauma: A Healing Journey
