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 promptly at 5:30pm, unless otherwise stated. Our in-person sessions have resumed.

October & November Group Descriptions.

  • Rebuilding: Self-Compassion
    Be kind to yourself. You’ve been through enough. After surviving domestic abuse, the hardest relationship to rebuild is often the one with yourself. This support group focuses on Self-Compassion after Domestic Violence, offering a safe, judgment-free space to heal from the trauma of the past. Together, we will focus on gently working through feelings of guilt and self-blame, transforming that heavy inner critic into a voice of kindness and self-care alongside people who truly understand.
    Facilitated by Mary & Darcy
    Tuesdays at 12pm-1pm, 10/20 through 11/17
  • Improving Relationship Skills
    Are you wondering how to improve relationships with others? Learning interpersonal effectiveness, one of the 4 modules of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, can offer skills for assertive communication and building healthier relationships. These skills can help you understand how to communicate confidently and set better boundaries with others in your life. In this group, we will explore and practice diƯerent skills centered around interpersonal effectiveness that may help you improve communication and/or navigate boundary challenges with anyone.

    Tuesdays at 5:30pm-6:30pm, 10/13 through 11/17
  • Addictions and Domestic Violence
    We may hope that if an abusive partner remains sober long enough, the change will last and lead to nonviolent communication. Compassion can remind us how difficult addiction is and make second chances feel appropriate. We may believe lessons have been learned and that the family can reunite. Whether this is a current concern or a past experience, please join us for a supportive group discussion where participants can help one another through their individual journeys.
