“EMPOWER HOUR”
FOR SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE & MILITARY SEXUAL TRAUMA

WE ARE HERE TO HELP YOU THRIVE!

If you are a survivor of sexual violence, “Empower Hour” is here to help! “Empower Hour” is about empowering survivors in the wake of sexual trauma by providing them access to a range of healing services to help them thrive. HLCC clinicians are donating one hour a week of therapy services to survivors of sexual violence for at least a year or until treatment resolution. Some of the other services that participants in “Empower Hour” will have access to is our free PTSD Acupressure clinic on Saturdays from 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm. See our Trauma Recovery Clinic page for more information on the free Acupressure treatment. We also have limited complimentary massage therapy, nutrition and iRest meditation services, too.

Please, call Dr. Michelle Kukla at 847.701.4452 to inquire about availability and space in our “Empower Hour” program for survivors of sexual trauma.
