We are very excited to once again have the opportunity to offer our monthly support groups for clients. Support Group are an important part of the services Haven offers.
Support groups are created to bring people together who are going through similar experiences. Participants have the opportunity to share their feelings, fears, coping strategies and challenges with others who can relate.
Benefits of participating in a support group for domestic violence survivors may include:
- Feeling less lonely, isolated, or judged
- Reducing distress, depression, anxiety, or fatigue
- Talking openly and honestly about your feelings
- Improving skills to cope with challenges
- Staying motivated to remain free from the abusive relationship
- Gaining a sense of empowerment, control or hope
- Improving understanding of healthy relationships
- Learning about local resources
During our recent group those present shared a meal, enjoyed an art project, and encouraged each other with positive conversation.
Do you know someone who is struggling with a domestic violence situation? They do not have to walk alone.
Our advocates are here to help!
