Our Current Schedule

**Please note, we are undergoing some construction. Therefore, Fall groups will take place VIRTUALLY.

Heal With Us Through 2024!

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).

  • SURVIVE & THRIVE – VIRTUAL
    For anyone who has experienced abuse, to support one another in their process. We will be offering encouragement and emotional support to one another within the group during these sessions.
    Facilitated by Dorothy & Casey
    Mondays: August 19th, August 26th, Sept 9th, Sept 16th, Sept 23rd, Sept 30th, Oct 7th, Oct 14th, Oct 21st & Oct 28th at 5:30pm
  • EMPOWERMENT – VIRTUAL
    Domestic abuse often begins with threats & verbal abuse and increases to other forms of domestic violence. The physical injury may be the most obvious danger, but emotional and psychological consequences of domestic abuse are severe. Emotionally abusive relationships can destroy your self-esteem, lead to anxiety and depression, and make you feel helpless and alone. This group will go over ways to improve your self-esteem and help you feel empowered.

    Tuesdays: August 20th & August 27th at 5:30pm
  • CODEPENDENCE AND THE NARCISSISTIC PARTNER – VIRTUAL
    We will be using the information provided by Dr. Ramani Durvasula, who is the author of “It’s Not You, Identifying and Healing from NARCISSISTIC People”. Many of you may be familiar with her pod casts, so have heard of her concepts of “love bombing”, “narcissistic supply”, and the “C-suite”. This should be an interesting and lively group discussion.

    Tuesdays: Sept 10th, Sept 17th, Sept 24th, Oct 1st & Oct 8th at 5:30pm
  • RECONOZCA LA VIOLENCIA DOMESTICA Y PIDA AYUDA – VIRTUAL
    El abuso doméstico a menudo comienza con amenazas y abuso verbal y aumenta la violencia. Y aunque las lesiones físicas pueden ser el peligro más obvio, las consecuencias emocionales y psicológicas del abuso doméstico son graves. Las relaciones emocionalmente abusivas pueden destruir tu autoestima, provocar ansiedad y depresión, y hacerte sentir impotente y solo. El primer paso para liberarse es reconocer que su situación es abusiva. Una vez que reconozca la realidad de la situación abusiva, puede obtener la ayuda que
    necesita. Durante el grupo aprenderemos y practicaremos pasos básicos para pedir auxilio.
