Nearly 12 months ago, our community in Western North Carolina was impacted dramatically and forever changed. While not everyone was affected the same way, it is generally accepted that we experienced a collective potentially traumatic event and are still working to rebuild. This episode seeks to commemorate that event, honoring the losses while also tending to what is happening right now. Wherever you are on this journey post-Helene, you are welcome here and we hope you find this offering supportive and helpful. Please reach out with any questions or comments and share with anyone else who might benefit from this information.
