CAN WE TALK…
Can We Talk… is an anonymous drop-in program where you are invited to safely share your stories of
pain, grief, loss and healing from trauma and whatever you are going through.
OUR HISTORY
Can We Talk… was created in 2014 at the Roxbury Presbyterian Church in Boston Massachusetts as the main outreach of the Cory Johnson Program for Post Traumatic Healing, named after a young, murdered church member. Cory’s family represents countless others in our community who are emotionally and psychologically harmed by violence, substance abuse, neglect, systemic and historical racism along with many other traumatic experiences.
OUR APPROACH
We abide with, or accompany those who have suffered trauma and loss by bridging multiple systems of care and offering:
- a safe sacred space for the sharing of painful stories
- increased awareness and understanding of trauma
- relief from traumatic stress
- mental health support for those who otherwise might not have access
“NO ONE LEFT ALONE”
Emmy Award winning Journalist turned Author Reverend Liz Walker sits down with Tamron Hall to discuss the journey behind writing her book, “No One Left Alone.” She details the grief from different communities and events that drove her to try to turn prayers into action as she felt it became more important to solve problems rather than just report on them.
