THRIVE (Trauma Healing and Resilience in Volatile Environment) is designed to provide support, connection, and resources for healing during difficult times. This initiative is led by the Department of Psychiatry and is a series of workshops to connect with the community to help process grief, navigate shared pain, and foster resilience.

All workshops are led by licensed professionals and incorporate evidence-based practices to calm the mind and body, promote self-regulation, and foster connections. Participants will learn simple yet powerful tools like breathing exercises, gentle movement, and guided self-reflection.

First workshop is held:

  • Location: Chatham Presbyterian Church, 1835 E Walnut St, Chatham, IL 62629
  • Date: May 29th, 2025; Thursday
  • Time: 5:00 - 7:00pm

The workshop is open to everyone; whether you are a parent, family member, educator, caregiver, or someone simply wanting to offer support, you are welcome. We encourage you to attend. We encourage you to share this information with your colleagues, patients, and loved ones. We encourage you to spread that support is available.
