Women's survivors group psycho-educational course
This is a 10-week psycho-educational topic-based course especially tailored for the needs of survivors and could be useful to women survivors who have experienced child sexual abuse. This course has been running for over 30 years in various forms! The course looks at a different topic each week, and there is also plenty of time for discussion and sharing experiences and feelings.
This is an intense course so group members do need to be in a place of mental health stability in order to attend the course with some support systems in place.
Topics include shame, anger, sexuality, boundaries, betrayal and healthy relationships.
Benefits of attending the course include:
- Meeting other survivors in a safe caring environment.
- Gaining information and empowerment from relevant topics for survivors.
- Receiving support from trained counsellors/facilitators.
- Opportunity of forming deep-lasting friendships.
