Self-care is important for everyone’s mental and physical health, but it can be especially challenging for survivors of abuse. For many survivors, it is difficult to fully relax and stop blaming themselves.

That is why WIRC-Victim Services is offering a free Self-Care Retreat Day for Survivors on Saturday, March 18, 2023 from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM at a private location in Macomb, Illinois.

***The exact location will only be shared with those who register by calling Victim Services. All registrations are kept confidential.***

Some of the day’s optional activities include mindfulness exercises; trauma-informed yoga; self-compassion workshops; and emotional support from counselors and fellow survivors. Counselors who specialize in helping survivors will lead the activities and be available to anyone who wants to have a confidential conversation.

To register, ask for Alissa (a Victim Services Counselor) by calling the Hotline at (309) 837-5555.
