Support Groups
All Services are FREE & Confidential
Our
support groups are available weekly for women and children
who have experienced and/or witnessed domestic violence in
their lives. If you would like a safe place to talk, share
experiences, learn, ask questions and even play, come join
us!
W.I.S.E.

transportation on a limited basis if you are in need.
We ask that you contact us in advance to obtain location
information, arrange transportation or if you have any
questions or concerns. Inquiries should be directed to

Our
children’s support group is held every Wednesday from 4:00
p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the same location as our Wednesday
women’s group. Children of all ages are welcome. Please
contact us in advance with any questions or concerns you may

We have
a few support group guidelines that we ask you to follow.
These guidelines have been put in place to respect the
confidentiality of you and others. Please remember that:
-
What is said and done
in group should remain in group
-
Others attending
group with you, may not want you to acknowledge them outside
of group. If you are aware of a time other then group that
you may come in contact with someone from group, we suggest
you talk with them at group so you are both comfortable for
those non-group meeting times.
-
You do not have to
use your real or full name. We want you to feel comfortable
when in group.
If you
are an adult male and in need of a support group that
provides a place for you to talk, share and learn, please
contact us at 608 791-2610 ext 204 or 309 and we will work with you to
secure the support group services you are in need of.
