Reply to "Residential housing models for those impacted by ACEs/Complex Trauma?"

You might think of starting a chapter of ACA in the facility -- Adult Children of Alcoholics (and other dysfunctional families).  ACA is a 12 step program which is focused on the "messages" of growing up in dysfunction and how they inculcate a lot of false information, bad habits and later misery in our lives.   People pleasing, self hatred, emotional constriction, shaky relationships.

I think you may have a built in issue... things will come up in co-housing because sharing space with others may be very triggering to people who were hurt in their families of origin.  The group dynamics will likely raise a lot of these old issues.  Having an evening meeting where people can process these things might be a big help.
