Workshop for Family and Friends of Victims-Survivors

When someone we care about is dealing with the impact of childhood sexual abuse, many of us feel at a loss for what to say or do. If you would like to learn how to respond to the victims-survivor, while still caring for yourself, the Office of Assistance Ministry invites you to attend a free, half-day workshop. Kathleen Leggdas, LCSW, will lead the program on Saturday, April 21, 2012 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Parking will be free.

For more information and to register for one of these dates, call Kathleen at 312-534-5268.
