In response to the devastating events in Lexington last night I will be volunteering my time to offer crisis management and debriefing (short term crisis counseling) for anyone in the community that would like to talk to someone about how they’ve been impacted. I will be available to meet at River Reader bookstore downstairs area from 12-5 today. I will determine availability for tomorrow depending on need. All meetings will be confidential. Please text me to setup a time to meet-816-716-4579. My heart goes out to our community.

“What Happened to You?” gave such relatable and understandable perspective on the various ways trauma presents itself. If you work with kids, are a provider, or just want to be able to better empathize and support people in your world, I highly recommend this read.
