Women’s Support Group

The Women’s Support Group consists of a 6-week group for women who have experienced abuse in their relationship.  It gives women an opportunity to share their stories in a safe, supportive and confidential environment.  Group members are made aware of different tactics of control, the cycle of violence, and warning signs of abuse.  They also learn how to regain their self-esteem, how to set boundaries, and how to become assertive.
