Finding Purpose – Domestic Violence Support Group

Finding Purpose provides a safe place for survivors of domestic violence to share their experiences, connect with others and be empowered to build healthy relationships throughout every aspect of their lives. Sessions are tailored to the survivors present and their specific and unique needs and challenges. The group is hosted at an undisclosed location for the protection of all survivors in attendance.

Group sessions are open. Survivors can join at any session and are not required to continue the entire rotation. There is no cost to attend. Along with the themes listed below, each session includes domestic violence education, activities and group discussion. Domestic violence education that is relevant to the current participants will be added at each session. Participants can notify the advocate of any special challenges they may face or want to discuss with the group.
