WAV – Women Against Violence

Signs of abuse are common, but someone in an abusive relationship may not recognize them because they have become a normal part of their relationship.

Physical and mental health effects have been linked with intimate partner violence including anxiety, depression and post traumatic stress disorder. Victims of domestic violence are also at higher risk of developing additions to alcohol, tobacco or drugs.

We have partnered with BCS Counseling Group to offer Online Support Groups for women. Currently open groups are listed below, please click group title to see more information about that individual group, or to express interest in joining the online support group:
