NEW SUPPORT GROUP OFFERING: ACCESS
(Advancing Career Counseling and Employment Support for Survivors of Domestic Violence)
| |
|
This 5-week group is open to women who have experienced abuse including emotional, verbal, economic, sexual or physical abuse in the past, and would like to focus on securing or expanding their career. The focus of the group will be to provide support, encouragement and empowerment in a safe, nurturing and confidential environment. This group will allow for the exploration of career and vocational pathways, while also reflecting upon what aspects of a career are most important to each individual and how to seek those out. In addition, this group will spend time identifying and developing work-related skills on an individual level, and helping participants to plan their short- and long-term goals. Childcare may be available for this group.
Two groups will begin in mid- to late May 2015, one meeting during the day and one in the evening. To find out more, please contact Lauren Kulp, Director of Self-Sufficiency Programs Director, at 919.968.4610 or by email.
