Purpose and Goals

Family or intimate partner issues that affect an individual or their family can become very overwhelming and emotionally draining. Without some level of support, depression and anxiety can increase, leaving us feeling lost and with no sense that there is any hope.

The purpose and goals of these meetings are to provide a place for similarly situated people to gather in a safe environment where they can receive support through sharing their experiences, exchange ideas and information, learn about ways that they can improve their circumstances, and most importantly, get hope.
