Sexual Assault Support Services of Midcoast Maine (SASSMM) is excited to announce the 2017 Yoga for Survivors Support Group. The group is specifically designed for adult, female identified survivors of sexual violence. The group will meet on Monday late afternoon/early evenings for 10 sessions starting in late January and will meet for two hours each week.

The Yoga for Survivors group will provide an opportunity for survivors to experience the practice of Trauma Sensitive Yoga in a safe, accessible, and self-directed space and to help provide tools to integrate healing practice into their daily living. Participants will acquire techniques for coping with anxiety, to recognize worth and self-power, to improve self-esteem and to increase acknowledgment of strengths and abilities. Content may include: Trauma Sensitive Yoga, Journaling, Self-Leadership, Coping and Grounding skills.

The Yoga for Survivors group is free and will take place in the Brunswick area. Individuals must attend an individual pre-group screening meeting prior to the start of the group. For more information please contact Molly or Amy by phone (207) 725-2181 or email, communityadv@sassmm.org.
