About us
Peer-Led Complex Trauma Support
Our meetings are intended for survivors of complex trauma. We are survivors creating opportunities for ourselves and others to share our experiences, share support, and build relationships in kind community together. Survivor experiences might include: child sexual abuse, incest, child trafficking, and other experiences of people living with traumatic dissociation and complex PTSD.
We ask that new people connect with us for 30 minutes on the phone or on zoom before coming to their first group, so that we can determine together that we are a good fit.
What to expect at your first meeting:
We meet in person at 2:00pm on the first, third, and fifth Sundays of the month. The only criterion for joining the group is that you are a survivor of trauma wishing to have more kindness in your own life and share kindness with others. Coming to a meeting is free of charge.
Our meetings last approximately 90 minutes. Participants are never required to share. You’re also welcome to choose a pseudonym and you will never be asked for private information. You are welcome to leave at any time.
The kindness that survivors can share when among others who have survived similar childhood experiences is something we rarely get to experience. Time spent with others who understand even a little bit more about us is a relief. Our hope is to help ourselves and others experience that we are not alone. We wish for our efforts to be a cause of kindness in our own lives and the lives of each other.

Kindness Conference 2026
Location not specified yetKindness Conference 2026
Registration required. Visit www.kindhelp.org to register!
Imagine a future intentionally shaped by kindness: come build it together with us on
Saturday, July 18th at the Junto Hotel in downtown Columbus!
The function of our conference is to help people develop the skills to build kind community and provide opportunities to increase in-person connection and support in each other’s lives.
This conference is for any of us who are:
· Feeling isolated and lacking community in our current society
· Wanting to make a difference in our own lives and the lives of each other
· Anyone who is just wishing to create something better!
We will build more kind community by:
· Developing formats for building community-based infrastructure where existing systems are failing that anybody can use
· Providing the tools that help people connect in-person and practicing using those tools together
· Implementing Universal Design so that no one gets left behind
Opportunities and practical tools we are offering:
· Lunch!
· Community-Building Toolkits for people to take home
· A chance to build lasting friendships and supportive connections
· Opportunities to share referrals, strategies, resources, and the kind of connected support networks many people receive through family, but that those without community and family are often lacking
· Ongoing community dinners, free workshops, and other events where people can connect
Participants also have the opportunity to receive CE credits from the Ohio CSWMFT Board.
We are just getting started! This is one of many upcoming events where we can continue making kind community together. Who else should be here?
Share this opportunity with anyone else who you think might want to build kind community! For more information and to register visit www.kindhelp.org. If you would like to help us plan the day, we would love to connect email us at info@kindhelp.org!1 attendee
