Where self-help and personal wellness begins.
The Outreach Education Program consists of
a Support Group for female victims of abuse in the community
and life skills for residents of our shelter.
Support Group
A support group is the starting point of awareness.
There is a focused educational topic each session combined
with open sharing. Weekly sessions are held and Support Groups
run throughout the year. A skilled Group Facilitator utilizes
a variety of resources, including audio, visual and literary
to raise awareness and understanding about the impact of abuse.
The Support Group focuses on the universal experiences of
abuse and incorporates cultural sensitivity. Cultural Interpreters
are utilized and special needs can be accommodated, including
offering one-on-one sessions for women that are unable to
function in a group setting. Women that have participated
in the support group receive tools to understand abuse issues
and learn about actions that can change their situation.
Are you a victim of abuse and interested in
changing your reality?
