National Gun Violence Awareness Day has taken place each June since 2015 and will be observed this year on June 5. As part of that wider conversation, last week, Melinda Wenner Bradley recently shared ways adults can approach conversations with children about guns, violence, fear, and safety. This week, Philadelphia Yearly Meeting continues to share, with the perspective of Lunden Abelson, a parent, holistic somatic trauma therapist, and healer.
Lunden Abelson is a therapist and parent whose family is part of the Moorestown Friends School community. Much of Lunden’s work focuses on people who have experienced trauma and violence. Through her private practice, Lunden works with people helping them heal and gain deeper clarity and connection with their values and beliefs. In addition to therapy Lunden offers a variety of workshops for adults, families and children. Her program, The Warren, specifically is designed to support children engage in proactive nonviolent communication.
