This interactive workshop explores the development and implementation of support groups for adults who identify as survivors of domestic violence. Participants will learn how to structure, plan, and facilitate groups using a trauma-informed approach grounded in cultural humility. Trainers will lead dynamic discussions on key considerations, common challenges, and best practices for effective group facilitation. Participants will also have the opportunity to apply their learning through a guided role-play. While the primary focus is on adult groups, the session will also include discussion of child and teen support groups.
