LIKE MINDED PEOPLE. THE POWER OF GROUP.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE GROUP

Our Domestic Violence Group aims to bring together women who have experienced any form of domestic violence to share their past experiences, gain support and mental empowerment from each other, as well as to develop an abuse prevention plan.

Goals of group:

  • To recognize forms of abuse (psychological, physical, sexual, financial, gender-based violence, neglect)
  • To learn about subconscious roles and dynamics in relationships
  • To understand the role of shame and guilt (to understand how we experience and process emotions and learn how to manage negative thoughts)
  • To discuss the effects of domestic violence and the reasons why a person stays in an abusive relationship
  • To learn how to build healthy relationships (to learn how communication is achieved and how boundaries are set, and to learn what consent means within a relationship)
  • To break the cycle of violence (to learn about choices and rights and to create a safety plan)
