Mother hugging DaughterOur Family Empowerment Program offers free support groups to survivors of domestic violence and their children during a 10-week session utilizing a research-based model to help enhance life after domestic violence. Parents and caregivers attend free weekly classes, while their children also attend classes to engage in fun, interactive activities that are proven to help them process and heal from past trauma. Together, families will grow and develop skills to find stability and new hope for the future.
