Our Her Circles invite women in all stages of life and from diverse backgrounds to find a peer support group that aligns with their journey.
Her Circle: Wellness
In this small group participants will have an opportunity to discuss topics such as depression, anxiety, anger, grief, stress, and other topics related to mental health.
Her Circle: Wellness aims to cultivate an awareness of the fundamental reasons behind our struggles and emotional turmoil. Through sharing lived experiences with others and engaging in various activities participants will reduce symptoms, learn coping skills, and help one another experience positive transformation.
Facilitator: Susan Santillan LPC-S
Susana holds a BA in Psychology and an MA in Community Counseling. With a passion for helping survivors of trauma and abuse, Susana has extensive experience facilitating groups and counseling individuals in both English and Spanish.
