The term hugging the cactus is often reserved to speak to the challenges of raising a teenager, however it seems well suited to speak to the challenges and joys that come with raising a child as you walk through your own healing process. It can feel like being poked by a cactus from across generations. This workshop invites CSA/SV survivors who are parenting or have parented a child into a space to ask questions, get support, share wisdom, find new strategies for navigating both the individual healing process and the ups and downs of changing generational cycles. This requires community---So here we are. Welcome!!!
