Spotlight: Trauma Recovery Center
Creating Space for Healing and Hope
Walking into Rising Ground’s Trauma Recovery Center (TRC) on bustling Church Avenue in East Flatbush, Brooklyn there is an immediate vibe shift. The walls of the space are painted with soothing and inviting colors, and the reception area is decorated with scenes from nature, accentuated by a trickling water feature. This calmness extends into the therapy rooms that are similarly decorated with beach scenes and soft coral colors. A vibrant children’s playroom holds an array of enticing toys and books.
It feels warm. It feels welcoming. It feels safe.
All of this is deliberate and an integral part of the TRC which blends comprehensive care, advocacy, and outreach for survivors of trauma, violence, and loss.
