Intimate Partner Violence
Intimate partner violence education/counselling groups are for adults who have experienced any form of abusive behaviour in relationships.
We offer separate groups for those who identify as men and women, with an average 12 participants at a time.
All Changing Ways groups require an intake interview and a commitment to attend all of the sessions.
Our groups work towards:
developing skills and techniques to use in the future
better understanding of self
developing bonds with others who have similar experiences
“You are not the darkness you endured. You are the light that refused to surrender.”
