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 be therapy, rather, they are a place for survivors to connect with other survivors in a safe and supportive setting. Contact us at hope@mnswcc.org for more information.
Turning Points
Turning Points: A Nonviolence Curriculum for Women is an educational program for women who use both legal and illegal violence against their partners. Its focus is on helping women understand the connections between the violence they experience and the violence they use. Its overall goal is to help them end both. If you have ever been in an intolerable but violent situation or felt you had to use violence or aggression in order to maintain some level of control, this may be the group for you. This new group will begin on January 10, 2024 (from 9:30 am -11:00 am) and will run 12+ weeks (virtual option available). This class is free, but preregistration is required. To find out if this class is for you, contact Cathy @ catherine@mnswcc.org or call 507-376-4311.
