A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
Since 2020, the Nebraska Coalition has seen more barriers isolating survivors and has had to expand ways to center survivors and their healing. As a result the Healing and Hope project was born out of a collective of survivors who created healing exercises to support survivors during their journey towards rediscovery. There are 13 grounding and meditative practices, and are available in English and Spanish. These developed practices are meant to reach any survivor at any time they need, and provide self-help and coping skills with calming, grounding, and relaxation.
In addition, to the grounding and meditative practices, the Nebraska Coalition recently created a survivor leadership project to further focus us as a survivor centered organization and increase survivors engaged in this. This will allow us to continue to expand what trauma informed work looks like for us and the network of programs who provide services to survivors.
