Support Groups

You’re Not Alone: Join a Support Group

Our support groups offer a safe, confidential, and supportive space for individuals who have experienced any form of interpersonal violence. Led by trained advocates, the groups foster healing, connection, and empowerment in a respectful, non-judgmental environment.

Participants can:

  • Share their experiences and express emotions freely
  • Learn about healthy relationships and boundaries
  • Discover practical tools for safety and healing
  • Receive emotional support from others who truly understand
  • Explore available resources for legal, medical, and counseling assistance


Whether you’re just beginning your healing journey or are continuing to rebuild, these groups are here to support you every step of the way.

Spanish language support groups are available weekly as follows:

  • Wednesday evening in Providence 
  • Thursday evening in Pawtucket
  • English language support groups are available weekly as follows:
  • Burrillville on Saturday morning
  • East Providence on Wednesday evening
  • Pawtucket on Tuesday evening
  • Woonsocket on Wednesday evening


Coming soon we will be offering sexual assault survivor groups as well as groups geared toward friends and family of interpersonal violence survivors.
