Narrative

Domestic Violence Support Groups

Offered during the day or in the evening in both English and Spanish. A group of women, who come together on a weekly basis to empower, support, share, and listen to each other. The support group is based on an empowerment model where Supportive Care provides the opportunity for women to come together, to share their experiences and to learn from each other. Very often women are in different stages of an abusive relationship. It is a great comfort for women who have been isolated by their abuser to come together, gain decision making skills, and empower one another.

Self Esteem Groups

We have expanded our services to provide an 12 week self-esteem class. Services are provided in English and Spanish. The goal is to provide a framework that explains the importance of achieving self – esteem and how to develop a sense of self-worth. Services are free of charge
