Are you interested in support families going through hard times? Be a Family Focused Support Group Facilitator!
This is an 8-week educational support group for women and children who have experienced domestic violence. This group is intended to assist the family unit in the healing process by allowing each member of the family a safe space to learn, share and grow. Participants learn about safety planning; the dynamics of abuse; how to communicate feelings, set boundaries, and improve self-esteem. Children and teens meet in small groups in which age-appropriate materials are presented. Facilitators have the opportunity to serve groups of adults and/or children of various ages. Facilitators choose which age groups they are most comfortable working with. Curriculum is provided and there are always two facilitators in every group.
No experience for this position is required. We ask that all potential volunteers are ready to learn, listen and practice empathy. It is not required that a facilitator be a survivor of domestic violence. Training and curriculum are provided.
