I do work with the homeless regarding trauma. The homeless in our society are a marginalized group. They are believed to be degenerates, drug addicts, lazy, and mentally ill. There are a lot of people out there who wound up there due to circumstances beyond their control. I worked in Property Management for a long time. I have seen the shift in housing and it breaks my heart to see so many Senior Citizens and Disabled Veterans living on the streets. Just curious, how many people have homeless encampments near them? Do you have homeless people in your community? Would you like to join in helping them? Items most requested for surviving winter on the street are: Coats, hats, scarves, gloves, socks, boots, long underwear, snow pants, tents, tarps, propane heaters & propane. Most of us have one or more of these in our homes, not being used right now. We can donate them to the homeless in your area. Give them the gift of warmth this winter. Let me know how your community handles the homeless.

Due to an emergency the workshop will resume the following week.

What would you like to learn about or talk about tomorrow in the Live chat? Drop a message here or DM me if you want to remain private. If no one has a topic, we will discuss how trauma manifests in physical symptoms and how untreated trauma affects us in our day to day lives.

How is everyone practicing self-care today? What steps did you take for wellness today. Who or what are you grateful for today? I worked on some craft projects for Christmas gifts, exercised this morning. I cleaned up my house, fed my sourdough starter and have one batch ready to bake. I can't wait to try homemade sourdough bread. I am grateful for my 2 daughters and the relationship we have. We have a shopping trip planned this afternoon.

Trauma-informed workshops will start November 5, 2025 at 11:00 AM EST. We will cover trauma and how it affects our minds and bodies, things we can do to help ourselves minimize the effects of trauma and how to come up with a wellness plan.
