Healing from trauma can be a journey. The way we heal is greatly impacted by who we are as individuals, the identities we hold, our geographies, and our histories. Access to resources like therapy can be challenging for some and those people still deserve the opportunity to have space held for them and to experience community. With respect to the far-reaching and complex impact of trauma, CARE offers alternative forms of healing for survivors including yoga, journaling, music, art, and dance.
Healing programs are open to all current UCLA students of all genders and backgrounds. Programs are also available by request and can be tailored to the unique needs of individuals and communities. If you would like more information about requesting a program for your organization or department, please contact CARE.
