We believe that women are a gift, and we conduct support groups for women who have become victims of circumstance.
Families often spend years in isolation, watching their loved ones waste away with abuse, drug /alcohol or other forms of addiction, ashamed of this behavior by their children, brother/sister, husband or wife and feeling guilty about their inability to help them. Understandably, they are reluctant to seek expert support for the wider family for fear of being judged.
We understand, and for this reason our facilitator is a qualified counsellor with extensive experience working with families for over 10 years before she started her training in 2009.
Our Support Groups Are:
- Drug/Alcohol abuse – For families affected by, meeting twice per month, please see our calendar below for the next date (see below for location).
- Domestic Violence – For families affected by, meeting twice per month, please see our calendar below for the next date (see below for location).
The Benefits of our Support Groups:
This takes the form of providing and evaluating relevant information, personal experience, listening to and being listened to, for sympathetic understanding.
What to expect from our Support Meetings:
Qualified professionals that have worked with addictions/abuse will visit the support group from time to time, with their expertise on how to support loved ones.
