Women's survivors psycho-educational group course

This is an opportunity for female survivors of sexual abuse to be part of a group, receive information, and work on some issues they may like to address in a supportive atmosphere. We have also found that receiving psychoeducation for many clients does cut down counselling time.

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
• the opportunity of forming deep, lasting friendships

We look at a different topic each week, and there is time for discussion and sharing our experiences and feelings. Topics include shame, anger, sexuality empowerment, and healthy relationships.

Places are limited to six-eight women.

Fees are £30 per session but we do have MOPAC-funded subsidies for this course so we can offer a lower rate down to £10 or £20 per session.

Past group members have found the course very helpful to them, and some of the feedback we have had includes;

• "The course was pivotal in my journey of recovery from sexual abuse."
• "The group helped me put in place strategies of self-care for the first time."
• "I was able to identify the effects of the abuse and it was such a relief to hear others had been through similar experiences."
