I can't believe I haven't mentioned this before! I wanted to let all the guys reading this know about the Men's Group for those who've experienced violence (of any kind). This group will give survivors a safe and supportive environment to tell their stories, share information, and offer and receive support. This support group will also provide survivors an opportunity to gain information on how to better cope with feelings and experiences that surface because of the trauma they have experienced. If you or anyone you know is interested in joining this group please call Brenda or Ann (of SafeSpace) at 863-0003.
