Most often family members, relatives and friends do not have anyone to talk with about their loved one’s abuse. They are considered secondary victims of abuse. They wonder what to say or not say. What is helpful? What makes the situation worse? What do the victim/survivors need or want from loved ones? What is the best way to support victim/survivors? These questions and many others will be discussed during these meetings.
These supportive and welcoming meetings are confidential and no one is forced to contribute unless they want to. We are not there to give each other advice but to share our own experiences we have had with our loved ones who have experienced abuse. Participants are free to bring a friend if that makes them feel more comfortable. All meetings take place in a zoom format and everyone is welcome to attend no matter where you are from.
