WHAT IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE?
Domestic Violence is a pattern of emotional, physical and sexual abusive behaviors used by adolescents and adults to control their intimate partners.
Group Counseling Meetings
Group meetings are open to both non-resident and resident victims of domestic violence. We discuss causes of domestic violence, getting free from abuse, life after leaving abuse. You may share your personal experiences or just listen. A regular feature of these meetings are films. These films cover various topics associated with domestic violence. We hold three group meetings every week on:
Tuesday 7-8:30 pm
Wednesday 7-8 pm
Thursday 7-8 pm
