The program will accommodate 60 survivors who are selected based on admissions criteria. The program is available to all who qualify regardless of race, religion, gender identity, or sexual orientation.The Onsite Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity, announced its new 2020 initiatives which include educational tools, resources, and workshops for survivors and those affected by mass shootings. The announcement includes a first-of-its kind workshop titled ‘Triumph Over Tragedy’ that will provide tools, support, trauma-informed therapies and access to top-of-the-line trauma therapists and clinicians, through full scholarships, for survivors of mass shootings to find hope and healing in community.
Applications open for Triumph Over Tragedy, a six-day workshop taking place March 12-18, 2020 at Onsite in Tennessee. The weeklong workshop will include a number of integrative therapeutic trauma modalities and will be customized for the needs of attendees.
The program has been curated with help from the Foundation’s Survivor Advisory Council, a six-person team comprised of mass shooting survivors representing the Columbine, Parkland, Thurston, Charleston, Las Vegas, and Aurora tragedies. Crystal Miller, the Survivor Advisory Council Chair says, “As a survivor of the shootings at Columbine High School, I know firsthand how very few services and resources are available. Survivors are often left alone to not only find good counseling but bear the burdensome costs. It is one of the highest honors of my life to be a small part in offering tangible tools and resources for ongoing mental wellness and support through The Onsite Foundation’s Triumph Over Tragedy program.”
