Heal With Us Through 2026!

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).

Early Spring Group Descriptions.

  • PARENTING: THE WHOLE BRAIN CHILD
    The group is intended to help parents move from reactive frustration to calm, empathic responses. This strengthens attachment and reduces stress by understanding how the developing child’s brain works. We will be using curriculum “The Whole Brain Child” to learn different ways we could help
    our children integrate memory for growth & healing, integrate parts of self, and integrate identity with interconnectedness. We will also gain understanding of benefits of integration on the child’s wellness, behavior, and relationships.

    Other Information may be provided from other resources as needed during sessions. This group will run for six sessions. Though NOT required, you are encouraged to buy the book or borrow it from any public library.

  • 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.
