Empowered Healing is a therapeutic group focused on safety, support, and healing. It offers an opportunity for women and gender diverse survivors to connect with others, learn about the impacts of their experiences, and feel supported in a safe and respectful environment.

The group is designed for women and gender diverse people aged 18 years and over who are victim survivors of sexual or family violence.

Participating in the group can help people feel less alone in their experiences, better understand trauma responses, and develop skills to support emotional regulation and coping. Participants will also have the opportunity to listen to others, helping to normalise and validate their own experiences.

This group is not a crisis service. It is designed to gently explore the impacts of trauma, build emotional resilience, and support connection, strength, and hope.

Empowered Healing is a free program delivered over eight sessions of two hours each. The group is facilitated by trauma-informed practitioners and facilitators with extensive experience in trauma counselling.

Our next Group will be commencing in Mansfield Term 3 2026. Groups in Wangaratta and Wodonga will continue later this year.
