Room To Grow and Heal
The Arc Baltimore's Trauma Program offers therapy and intervention to assist individuals with disabilities to communicate about and work through past experiences of abuse, neglect, and other trauma-inducing situations. Participants will partake in Yoga, music therapy, individual trauma therapy and group session therapy. Our goal is to help them heal in ways that will enable them to lead rewarding and fulfilling lives with gainful employment. In order to fulfill this need, the Trauma Program needs an available room 3 times a week. The space needs to be accessible with access to bathrooms.
Please contact Dr. Karyn Harvey at kharvey@thearcbalitmore.org
if you know of an available space.
