Survival Skills for Survivors

2-4pm | 2/4/26 - 3/4/26

• Join us for "Survival Skills for Survivors," a 5-week group where survivors will learn practical, evidence-based skills while also engaging in opportunities for creative, expressive art that supports healing.
  Drawing on proven strategies from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and art-based healing, you’ll build skills in mindfulness, managing intense emotions, and effective communication to help you navigate challenges, care for yourself, and survive the hardest moments of your healing journey. This group offers a non-judgmental space to reflect, share, and practice new skills as well as express yourself through creative artistic expression alongside a supportive community of survivors.
• Open to all adult survivors.
• Questions? Contact Kimmins at South14@msu.edu.
