Heal With Us Through 2025!

We’re stronger together.

Support Groups give clients a chance to share their stories with others who hold similar experiences so they can understand that they are not alone. These groups cover a range of topics that may include women empowerment, coping strategies, co-parenting with an abuser or the impact of trauma on relationships. We believe these groups can be an essential part of the healing process for some survivors. Support Groups are free and available to survivors but you must be registered to attend.

Support Groups start at 5:30pm and will end no later than 7:30pm (unless otherwise stated).

November Group Descriptions.

  • Creative Empowerment Group: Expressive Arts for Survivors of Domestic Violence
    This three-session group is a safe and supportive space for individuals who have experienced domestic violence. Using art and creative activities, we will explore feelings of safety, strength and hope. No artistic skills are needed- just willingness to create and express yourself at your own pace. Each session includes grounding, creative artmaking, and time for reflection in a respectful, empowering environment.  All art materials are provided.  All adult outreach clients and shelter clients are invited. 

    Group goals:

    • Build emotional safety and grounding skills
    • Reconnect with personal strength and identity
    • Express feelings through art (no pressure to share trauma).
    • Build connection with other survivors
    • Foster hope and sense of possibility for the future.

  • Survive & Thrive
    This group is open to any adult survivor of DV.  This is a chance to support one another wherever we are in the healing process. We will be offering encouragement and reflect on our experiences.   We will provide space for processing DV recovery topics such as grief, identity, self-confidence, boundaries, rebuilding, tackling the holidays, and more.  There will also be opportunities to share what has been helpful to you in your recovery to celebrate progress and help others.
