The Advocacy department is excited to share a new curriculum to debut in Fall 2026.
This 8-week, in-person support group is designed for returning clients who have previously participated in our Domestic Violence support groups or one-on-one peer counseling and are ready to continue their healing journey in a supportive, compassionate community. This group provides a safe and welcoming space to connect with others who share similar experiences, strengthen the progress you've already made, and build meaningful connections through shared understanding and encouragement.
Together, participants will focus on maintaining and deepening their healing by exploring personal growth and practicing healthy coping strategies. Rooted in community and mutual support, this group celebrates each person's unique journey while creating opportunities to learn from and uplift one another. Whether you are looking to strengthen your support network, continue building confidence, or simply remain connected to a community that understands, this group offers a space to grow and heal.
The curriculum will include:
Building a Foundation to Thrive
Reframing Negative Thoughts
Thriving as Ourselves
Envisioning the Future
