CWS Connects is a monthly peer support group for child welfare survivors. It's a space to process, share, and connect through themed discussions, creative activities, and mutual care practices.
Each session is grounded in a different theme—like grief, relationships, family dynamics, joy, or cultural disconnection—and is designed to support personal reflection, emotional expression, and collective healing. The space is co-facilitated by survivors and guided by trauma-informed, anti-oppressive values.
Sessions are open to anyone with lived experience in the child welfare system. No professional background or formal diagnosis is required—just your story, your boundaries, and your presence.
Food, transit support, and materials are provided when in person.
