Gathering Strength Group

Gathering Strength is a group for women 55+ who have experienced controlling and/or other abusive behaviour by their partner and/or children.

• Learn from one another in a safe, supportive environment about:
  • Possible effects of these experiences on mind, body and spirit
  • How our responses to this mistreatment can teach us something about what we value and care about in our lives
  • The ways in which women have used their own inner wisdom emotionally, mentally, spiritually, physically, and socially to strengthen themselves
• Share ideas together about how to enhance our connection within ourselves and with others who are supportive
• Offer information about other community resources which may be of assistance
