Annual Family Retreat
Healing together. Growing together.

This program is offered once a year as a transformative family retreat dates will be sent to clients to prepare for this time. This will bring together parents and children who have experienced domestic violence for a weekend of healing, connection, and growth.

At Crisis Movement Support Services, we understand that trauma doesn’t impact just one individual—it touches the entire family. That’s why this retreat is intentionally designed as a 1-2 day  immersive experience in a peaceful, nature-filled setting where families can breathe, reconnect, and rediscover joy.
