Support & Empowerment Groups
We offer support groups to survivors wishing to understand and explore how violence has impacted their lives in a deeper, more meaningful way. The groups are not intended to replace therapy, rather, they are a place for survivors to connect with other survivors in a safe and supportive setting.
