The Beyond Trauma class meets for eight weeks; every Monday evening from 6-8pm; starting on Oct. 13. Classes will be held at CARE of Southeastern Michigan’s Fraser Office: 31900 Utica Road, Fraser.

Former participants have offered the following testimonials:

“Another good source of support, a safe place to meet, talk and be ourselves.”

“It has been very helpful … being able to talk about my situation with people other than friends and family. I loved coming!”
