Support Groups
Empowerment is fundamental to healing from abuse and violence and this can be achieved by bringing women together.
BWSS Battered Women’s Support Services is committed to assisting women in the healing journey by providing a safe place for women to connect with one another in order to alleviate isolation, share information, raise awareness, develop coping and recovery skills and plan for a life free from abuse.
To sign up for a support group, please call 604-687-1867 (we accept collect calls) during our office hours or email supportgroups@bwss.org
If you need support outside of BWSS office hours, call Victim Link Helpline at 1-800-563-0808.
When women support each other, incredible things happen.
