Ending the Cycle, Healing Childhood Traumas

By Southcentral Foundation Corporate Communications

Family Wellness Warriors supports healing through workshops and learning circles.

In Dena’ina Athabascan, the word for children is ch’anikna and is often used to signify a strong emphasis on caring for and valuing children.

Southcentral Foundation observes Child Abuse and Sexual Assault Awareness Month in April. This observance highlights services available to help families heal.

Traumas caused by adverse childhood experiences such as abuse, neglect, or household dysfunction can have life-long effects. If you are struggling with these traumas, it can be confusing to know how to take the next step to begin the cycle of healing. SCF has resources to support you.

SCF Family Wellness Warriors hosts trainings focusing on healing and sharing tools for adults to take action in ending cycles of child abuse and sexual assault. FWW offers trauma informed training intensives, workshops, and learning circles rooted in evidence-based, peer leadership models.

FWW learning circles are available to customer-owners ages 18 and older. These are peer-led support groups where people are invited to share story, connect, and build relationships through a variety of wellness activities.

Families are invited to explore these and many more learning circles offered by FWW:

When working toward healing, the compassionate team of FWW professionals are here to walk with you on your journey to wellness.
