About the host
Blessings of deep peace be with you. I'm grateful you are here. I am Madonna ~ mother, grandmother, teacher of beautiful things, encourager of spirit, story keeper, companion, and someone who has known both the unendurable and the quiet turn toward joy. " … The unendurable is the beginning of the curve of joy.” I have spent many years with people carrying more than they believed they could, enduring the quiet exhaustion of simply trying to stay well. I am here as a peer who has walked the dark edges of sorrow and encountered sweet mercy. I have learned that healing often begins the moment someone’s story is met with kindness and belief. I hope to see you soon in my groups and in specialized one-to-one care and support. If you would like a safe, confidential place to meet for specialized one-to-one support, I am accepting new connections. Please request to be added as a contact using the “Connect” button, and we can begin the conversation your soul has been yearning for. We can begin exactly where you are, at the pace your heart can hold. I know how heavy life can feel, and you don't have to face life's edges alone. We are held, even when we cannot feel it. I walk this path as a believer who trusts the Light that dispels all darkness, knowing that Light arrives in beautiful, unexpected ways. The compassionate spiritual care I provide supports spiritual growth through faith-rooted soul care, recognizing that spiritual abuse and church hurt are very real for many. I am a Messianic Christian, coming from a long line of Indigenous healers with a living trust in our Creator, Sustainer, and Healer. “What delight comes to the one who follows God's ways.” Deep peace, Madonna *Credentials: Chaplain, Rev, M.Div., CSD, CADC, CPSS Clinical Therapeutic Musician Certified Practitioner of the Social/Emotional Arts *Where you will find me: One-to-One Peer Support: Scheduling Monday - Friday, 8:00 am to 3:00 pm EST. *Offerings: Soul Care for Women There's Gold in Your Story Writing Group The Gathering Mindfulness for Resiliency Monday Morning Christian Meditation for CPSSs Plumbline Collective Spiritual Direction Life Coaching
Motivation for help
I have been to the dark edges of deep sorrow and pain, and I have been brought to a sacred garden of joy and peace. My life is a story full of hope on this journey, and I’ve found that there is healing in the sharing our stories, more importantly, having our stories witnessed and believed is when the power of healing begins to arrive.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Support Groups


Washington State


 
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Strategic Partnership Advisory Council of Washington State provides Support Groups through the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) that emphasize connection, education, and engagement in life after sustaining a TBI.
 
Our Support Groups are predicated on the concept of a person-centered approach that can aid in the development of long-term knowledge and generic problem-solving skills to help attendees overcome barriers to sustaining a fulfilling life.
 
These Support Groups may provide a therapeutic effect, but they do not provide therapy and instead focus on delivering organized bodies of knowledge and resources for the betterment of attendees.
 
The group rotation will consist of scheduled groups of two to three groups per week.  Each group focuses on a specific topic geared towards individuals who have sustained a brain injury, their familes, and providers.
 
*Please note, groups with "Private" in the title are for specific groups and are not open for public entry.
*Closed Captioning is offered at indicated sessions.
