Living in the Black

A Support Group to Facilitate Healing

July 21 – August 18, 2011

Thursdays – 6:30 – 8:00 p.m.

 

Salina School House – 536 Gold Run Rd, Boulder, CO. 80302

Foothills United Way is sponsoring a six-week support group for individuals and families who are struggling with the challenges of living in their homes that were not destroyed by last year’s fires – but who find their lives affected by the changes and loss that surround them.  The Living in the Black Support Group will discuss the ways the fires affected and changed lives and will discuss and practice ways to overcome the obstacles these changes seem to have created.

 

The support group will be facilitated by Lisa LaDue, a licensed clinical social worker, who has extensive experience working with people in post-disaster settings around the world.  Lisa will facilitate group discussions that offer suggestions for managing challenges such as sleep disturbances, changes in eating habits, irritability, lack of concentration, memory difficulties, and overwhelming sadness.  She will provide examples of exercises that may alleviate pain, preoccupation and other problems that seem to have resulted from the devastating fires.

 

Living in the Black Support Group is being offered free of charge to anyone who lives in the Fourmile Canyon Fire burn area.
