Domestic Abuse Support Group

To honor where you are in the healing process, you will never be required to share. The group members with help each other to regain their confidence and self-worth, and hopefully help each other learn how to take the next steps to put an end to the violent situation that they may find themselves in. To register for group, call or email Rhonda Burchett at 831-422-8602 or rburchett@ywcamc.org. Preregistration is not required, but encouraged. Support group is free and confidential.
