Adoption, abandonment, child advocacy and welfare present unique challenges and issues that require a particular understanding, empathy and compassion to address.

The presence and love of God for those who are forgotten and discarded purposefully is in acute and constant demand. Jesus is there for them all, but the guilt, shame and secrets perpetuated by families can be oppressive and cruel. I believe it is all in my calling to reach, teach, love and lead in this topic.

The Grief Recovery Method® (GRM) Alumni Program is a continuation of your grief recovery journey. You learned relationships will always have their ups and downs,  but now you have the tools to navigate through any new relationship. However, we have identified the more relationships you work on in your healing journey (recommend at least 4), the more freedom from buried pain you are able to attain and the more connection in your current and future relationships you will experience.

As you walk into new uncharted territory or perhaps into a bothersome familiar territory from the past, your Alumni work will serve as an offensive and defensive barrier to address any unrelenting triggers, losses, lies and not 'lose territory' on the gains you have made.

The more relationships you complete, the more familiar you will become with triggers and access the tools and skills you have obtained to take corrective action. You are building up your "arsenal" to a wholesome foundation of emotional skills for your overall health.

Higinia will walk you through these steps and also establish a post-plan of action with you to continue to move through and beyond grief. You can also access the ASSaP Care™ tool available to you. 

The program is offered in person or virtual via a secure, confidential, video platform. Your privacy and confidentiality are our priority. We can talk about what works best for your schedule.

If someone you love suffers because of food, there is help.

If you are reading this, you may have a family member or friend finding recovery in Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous (FA). Or, perhaps, someone you care about is suffering as a result of their relationship to food and you wonder if FA can help.

Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous (FA) is based on the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Unlike diet programs which rely on willpower and effort, FA addresses addiction and recovery is rooted in surrender. As a result, members find lasting freedom from cravings and maintain healthy weights for years and even decades.

FA members have found that we are addicted not only to foods made with flour and sugar, but to quantities of food as well. Many of us have been obese while others were underweight. Some of us maintained a healthy weight, but struggled constantly with obsession about our bodies. Without a program of recovery, we are unable to consistently make healthy choices about what we eat, regardless of the incredible willpower often evident in other areas of our lives.

For a basic understanding of food addiction and the program of Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous (FA), and to read the experience of other family members with loved ones in FA, read the pamphlet To our Families and Friends. Here is a sample from that pamphlet:

We want to reassure you that although the beginnings may be difficult, in our experience, the result of the FA program can be a greater love and understanding of each other than was ever possible in the past. After a time, we thoroughly adjust to our new way of living.

We participate in life fully and zestfully, enjoying birthday parties, meals out, holiday celebrations, vacations, and other special times with our family and friends. We come to value our families and loved ones more than ever before, and they tell us that they like the people we have become. If someone you love has just joined FA, we believe that there will be many wonderful times ahead for both of you!

It's About Connection

Individuals who have never been in a group are often surprised to discover that they truly enjoy the experience and make significant strides they would not have otherwise made in individual therapy. Groups also allow for exponential multiplication of time and energy. Just one week of Innova's group therapy program is equivalent to over 3 months of individual therapy.

Intensive Outpatient Programs

Our Intensive Outpatient (IOP) treatment offers the option of joining from the comfort and privacy of your own home on your smartphone or laptop. You will attend group meetings, with no more than 8-12 in a group , for three days a week.

Typically, the program lasts 12 weeks, depending on individual progression. Our team will walk you from your initial phone call to having you join your first meeting, to ensure you always have support.

• For Women-For women, led by women, our goal is to provide support on your journey to recovery using several techniques and methods.
• For Men-Men leave our program with less irritability, a greater understanding of how to deal with life?s stress and a more confident sense of self.
• For Teens-Teens are much more likely to engage in this setting as it feels safe and protected and speaks to their lifestyle.

Most insurances do not require a referral to see a therapist.  Simply make an appointment and being your journey.

As parents, caretakers, mentors, teachers we may find ourselves at a loss when trying to help children process any grieving experience. 

Whether the child you care for has experienced a loss or you know will experience significant emotional loss like death, divorce, loss of a pet,  moving, changing schools, being adopted, fostered, bullied or a myriad of other losses, having the correct information within your reach can make a significant difference to their well-being.

This 5-week program will equip anyone who works with children with the necessary tools to help the children effectively deal with loss of any kind current or future...and in the process, help your heart too!

The program is offered in person or virtual via a secure, confidential, video platform. Your privacy and confidentiality are our priority.

Want to help your friends, family, and neighbors reach their goals — and get capital — so you can all move up, together?

At UpTogether, we believe every person is an expert in their own life.

After listening to and learning from thousands of families over the past 20 years, we know people can and will move up together when they are recognized for their initiative, supported for their self-determination, and provided access to resources according to their strengths, not deficits.

UpTogether members are parents and caregivers, entrepreneurs and community organizers, college graduates and homeowners, Boomers, and Millennials, and much, much more, all working together to accomplish the goals they have set for themselves, both individually and collectively. There is a richness in the diversity their lived experiences bring to the UpTogether Community.

When it comes to race and ethnicity, UpTogether Community members are more similar. Our membership is reflective of the reality we face in America with Black, Indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC), experiencing low wealth and poverty at a disproportionate rate. This is due to systemic racism in the form of discriminatory policies and practices, and not individual behaviors or cultural characteristics. With this in mind and a focus on centering equity, the overwhelming majority of UpTogether Community members are also part of the BIPOC community.

Weighed down by Loneliness?

Loneliness is heavy. If you’re struggling, you may feel disconnected and isolated. When you feel alone, it can feel like the world around you is empty and meaningless.

But there is hope for connection and meaningful relationships.

You’re not meant to deal with loneliness alone

We connect you to people from local churches who truly care about you and what you’re going through in life. They want to listen, provide help, and encourage you, all with zero expectation or pressure.

What Is PTSD?

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a psychiatric disorder that may develop after a person has been through, seen, or been threatened with a traumatic event. Types of events that can lead to PTSD include a natural disaster, accident, combat, or sexual violence.

If you’re living with PTSD, you may find yourself having flashbacks and nightmares, avoiding situations that bring back unwanted memories, and struggling with feelings of anxiety, sadness, or anger. You might feel like it's harder to connect with others or keep up with school or work like you used to.

Know that PTSD is not a sign of weakness but a mental health condition that can be diagnosed and treated. With the help of a mental health professional, you or your loved one can begin to heal.

Symptoms of PTSD fall into four categories and include:

• Intrusive symptoms
• Avoidance
• Increased arousal
• Changes in thoughts and feeling

Approches:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Family/Marital Therapy
• Acceptance and Commitment (ACT)
• Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
