We were awarded a grant through Coweta Community Foundation Long Term Tornado Relief Funds and in partnership with Coweta Family Connections aimed at providing stress relief and healing for the executive directors of many of the nonprofits in our county who provided aid for those affected by the tornado. These leaders in our community have continued to work with people for the last year and a half and have thereby been exposed to vicarious trauma and incredible stress to the point of potential burn out.

We will be contracting out the therapy services through Sea Glass Therapy.

The program consists of an initial event were we will host all of the executive directors of the nonprofits in our community who helped when the tornado wreaked havoc in Newnan. The event will have food and an experiential therapeutic exercise for them to help assess their stress levels as well as experience relaxation. At this event, they will be offered the opportunity to sign up for the full program.

The full program allows for 12 of the executive directors to participate in 6 weeks of individual therapy sessions as well as group sessions that consist of experiential healing therapeutic exercises as well as group processing.
