Wellspring to offer new trauma group for men
GREENFIELD – A new group for men facing trauma is coming to Wellspring Center in April.
Breaking the Chains of Trauma is an eight-week group peer-led group for trauma-related issues. Trauma can pose some of the greatest stumbling blocks to recovery for offenders, mental health clients, substance abusers and individuals struggling with daily responsibilities, according to Wellspring. The group will help men work through issues of trauma and will meet at 6:30 p.m. every Tuesday starting April 4. The agency already has a women’s group on the same topic.
To learn more about mental health groups, call Wellspring Center at 317-462-2015 or visit wellspringind.org. The center is located in Brandywine Community Church.
