Reconnect and Empower Group Program

I am hoping to run a small group program, for a 4–6-week period, for adolescent girls who have experienced sexual assault. The group program would focus on connection, resilience, healing and empowerment. The group aims to reduce isolation and promote recovery. Whilst the direction and content of the group will be generated by participants, ideas that will be proposed to them include self-care and pampering, building resilience, creating an awareness or support resource for other young women. There is considerable research as to the therapeutic benefits of group programs in recovery from violence and abuse. I do not believe there is a group of this kind currently running in our LGA.
