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).

We will be offering encouragement and opportunities to reflect on our experiences. We will provide space for processing many legal issues including facing your abuser in court. There will be opportunities to share what has been helpful to you which may benefit others.

  • Healthy Coping Skills: Mindfulness
    Are you struggling with some emotional distress as you face situations you never anticipated? Learning mindfulness coping skills, one of the 4 modules of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, can help you manage an array of situations in life and understand how to manage distress effectively. They can help you act in areas where you may be stuck and feel stressed out. In this group, we will explore and practice different healthy coping skills centered around mindfulness that may help you reduce stress and improve your self awareness as you choose to move forward.
