African Drumming: Beating the Hell Out of Trauma is an experiential, culturally grounded workshop that uses traditional African drumming and rhythm as a pathway for trauma release, emotional regulation, and reconnection to the body and community. Drawing from expressive arts therapy, somatic trauma theory, and African diasporic healing traditions, this workshop invites participants to externalize stress, anger, grief, and stored trauma through rhythm rather than words alone. This 2-hr workshop is accessible to all skill levels and does not require prior musical experience. Emphasis is placed on safety, choice, and cultural respect. Participants will leave with an embodied understanding of how rhythm can be used as a therapeutic tool for stress reduction, emotional expression, grounding, and healing—both individually and within community spaces.

Participants will learn practical, evidence-informed strategies to reduce power struggles, strengthen emotional regulation, and promote positive behavior through connection, consistency, and skill-building rather than punishment. Emphasis is placed on realistic tools parents can apply immediately at home.
Parenting a school-age child with challenging behaviors can feel overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting. This 4-week support group is designed to provide parents and caregivers with a safe, nonjudgmental space to receive support, learn practical strategies, and connect with other parents facing similar experiences. Each weekly session combines psychoeducation, guided discussion, skill-building, and peer support. Parents are encouraged to share experiences at their own comfort level while gaining validation, encouragement, and practical take-home strategies that can be immediately applied at home and in collaboration with schools.
This six-week social skills group is designed for school-age children (approximately ages 6–8) with ADHD and Autism who benefit from structured, supportive opportunities to develop social communication and peer interaction skills. The group provides a safe, engaging environment where children learn and practice essential social skills through interactive activities, role-play, games, and guided peer interactions. Instruction emphasizes self-awareness, emotional regulation, perspective-taking, and flexible thinking while respecting neurodiversity and individual differences. Caregiver communication and skill generalization strategies are incorporated to support carryover into home and school settings.
Reflective supervision groups provide mental health clinicians and supervisors with a consistent, structured space to pause, reflect, and process the emotional and relational impact of clinical work. Grounded in reflective supervision principles, the group emphasizes curiosity, self-awareness, and relational safety rather than problem-solving or case management. Through guided reflection and facilitated group dialogue, participants are invited to consider the “use of self” in clinical work, recognize parallel process, and deepen understanding of their responses to clients and systems. Attention is given to power, culture, ethics, and equity, supporting clinicians in maintaining integrity, effectiveness, and resilience in their roles.
This work group is designed to support mental health clinicians in strengthening trauma-informed supervision practices.

Emphasis is placed on cultural humility, power dynamics, and relational safety within supervision. Participants will engage in case consultation, and skills development to enhance clinical effectiveness, promote clinician well-being, and reduce burnout, secondary traumatic stress, and compassion fatigue.
