THIS WEEK "Lessons Learned from Trauma and Abuse" a message of hope and healing after the worst has happened.
📖🎶❤ Thursday, June 4 at 6:00PM ❤ 🎶📖
Author and musician Michael Skinner shows that thriving, not just surviving, after trauma and abuse is possible by healing with music, nature and love. Michael’s deeply personal story, as chronicled in his new memoir The Lunchbox Theory, confronts the devastating impact of childhood abuse and the long path to healing. Both the book and the accompanying presentation recounts Michael’s lessons learned alongside vital statistics on trauma, all delivered in a voice that is both raw and compassionate. More than a personal narrative, it is a call to action for trauma-informed awareness for professionals and a message of compassion for all. The presentation will include a short reading, music woven throughout, and time for conversation and questions.
