Groups & Classes

•  Empowering Survivors is a virtual support group for women who have experienced abuse or control in their marriage or relationship. This group focuses on positive support and encouragement. Participants will not be asked to share details of their abuse, but rather, explore the impact it has had on their lives and work towards healing and hope in a supportive environment.

• Empowering Survivors meets on Monday evenings from 6-7:30pm. Anyone who is currently experiencing abuse or who has experienced abuse in a past relationship is welcome to attend.

• For more information or to receive the link to join this group, please complete our online community intake form.

• We invite you to share our Empowering Survivors Support Group flyer with others who may be interested, or post it in your business, community center or place of worship.

Due to COVID-19, this group is currently meeting virtually via Zoom and will be led by a Safe Harbor counselor or advocate. To help increase a sense of safety for participants, we ask that anyone participating in this virtual group respect the following guidelines:

• Use the video feature to help participants connect to each other (the use of headphones is strongly encouraged.)
• Make arrangements to be in a private space prior to the start of group, to avoid disruptions from children or other household members.

• Safe Harbor offers Domestic Violence Education classes for women who have experienced abuse or control in a relationship or marriage.
