Christmas and the surrounding winter holidays can be intensely overwhelming, isolating, or triggering, especially for survivors of trauma and abuse. The societal pressure to feel "joyful" or "merry," coupled with navigating family obligations, can make this time of year deeply challenging.

At &Rise, we want you to know you don't have to navigate the weight of the holidays alone. Join us for a special, confidential support group dedicated to creating a safe and warm space to find community, grounding, and genuine support during the season.

What we will focus on:

• Creating space for all feelings—whether that’s joy, grief, stress, or relief—without the pressure of forced celebration.

• Practical tools and discussion on how to navigate family dynamics, manage expectations, and protect your emotional peace.

• Sharing in a supportive community where your story is seen, validated, and held with care.

• Learning and practicing techniques to stay regulated, present, and centered throughout the most intense days of the holiday season.

If you are a woman survivor of trauma or abuse and need a place to feel seen and supported this Christmas, please join us. Your healing is the priority, and we are here to hold space for you.
