Support groups for women victims of conjugal violence

Our closed, confidential support groups for women victims of abuse provide a safe environment to discuss and listen. The goal of the groups is to help participants break the cycle of violence, show them that they are not alone and identify their options. The aim is to empower and give women direction where to go and what to do. The support groups, which meet weekly for eight weeks, are designed for women from ethnic and English-speaking communities.

Presently available in English and Greek.

Support groups in other languages depend on the demand and the number of clients.  

All candidates must be pre-screened by our social workers.

Parenting groups

  Hello,

I am writing to invite mothers who have survived experiences of conjugal violence and who are now looking for some information and support on parenting after a child's exposure to violence.  The group looks at what a child's experience of violence is and how mothers can support their child (ren) in adapting positive behaviors in the wake of trauma.  I hope that everyone will take the time to think of a family who can benefit from these services or post them for mothers to see. 
 
Sincerely,

Cyndi Masi
