In a support group, participants learn about the dynamics of domestic abuse, talk with peers and clinicians about their experiences, and hear from others who have had similar experiences in their relationships.
Group settings can be beneficial, especially for those who have been in an abusive relationship for an extended period of time, because these victims frequently become isolated from friends and family and may not have an extensive support network. A support group is also a resource for those who are unsure of their next step, even if it involves remaining in their current relationship. CHANA’s support groups ensure that no victim must navigate their journey on their own and reduce feelings of shame and isolation.
CHANA’s groups are led by trauma-informed professionals. CHANA provides a range of support groups throughout the year. Contact us for more information.
