Community & Professional Education

The Refuge is a mental health organization that collaborates with individuals, families, and communities. We believe that mental health is often ignored in our daily lives and that recognizing it within our work, school, and church environments can lead to thriving communities. To promote mental health, we organize educational seminars and professional development talks. Our workshops are tailored to specific ages and subjects and can address topics such as adolescent coping skills, creating healthy habits, teacher burnout and anxiety, trauma responses, the teenage brain, healthy work boundaries and filtering, automatic negative thoughts, healthy communication styles, and much more. We are available to speak to a class, church youth group & parents, or group of teachers.
