Reclaim Compassion

Shed your shame. Renew your hope. Rediscover the parent you know you can be.

Is your adoption journey turning out differently than you imagined? You had so much love to give, but now you feel ashamed and bewildered by your lack of compassion. You may be experiencing blocked care—a self-protective mechanism in your nervous system that makes it difficult to connect with your child and maintain compassion. When it happens, it’s like your heart seems to have left the relationship. But the good news is you are not a bad parent. You can heal from blocked care, and compassion can be rekindled in your heart.

Known & Loved is excited to announce a new 10 week Small Group Study to dive deep into the amazing book, Reclaim Compassion written by Lisa Qualls and Melissa Corkum. Join Kristin Rich, LPC and other parents for discussion, creative arts, and compassion in a nonjudgmental community!

Trust Based Relational Intervention Introduction and Overview Virtual Lunch and Learn :

TBRI® is an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention that is designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children. TBRI® uses Empowering Principles to address physical needs, Connecting Principles for attachment needs, and Correcting Principles to disarm fear-based behaviors. While the intervention is based on years of attachment, sensory processing, and neuroscience research, the heartbeat of TBRI® is connection.

If you are new to TBRI® or want your family members or community supports (ex. babysitter, friends, teachers) to be more informed, this is the CLASS!

This 4 week virtual lunch & learn will cover trauma and the brain, the attachment cycle, the needs behind behaviors, and an overview of the Connecting, Empowering, and Correcting Principles of TBRI®.

Bonus Optional 5th Session: TBRI® and the Gospel with Q&A

Renovate: A Christ Centered Sexual Abuse Recovery Group

Common obstacles to walking in true freedom and abundant life often start with questions like this: What if it wasn’t really sexual abuse? What if it was all my fault and people would judge and reject me if they knew? What if it hurts to bring it up? What good is it to bring up the past? Shouldn’t I just forgive and forget? Whether or not we want to admit it, sexual abuse experiences impact us. During our 13 week Renovate Group, we take our secrets into the light in a safe, structured environment to facilitate insight, healing, and restoration. You are loved, and you are worth it. 

Kaleidoscope

We believe that giving voice to people’s experiences lets them know that they are known and loved. Transracial Adoption brings many different experiences for both children and their adoptive parents. This four week support group is to help parents and teens have a place to have community, express themselves, and grow.
