Alternatives to Violence of the Palouse (ATVP) will begin free peer support groups Wednesday, August 6 and Thursday, August 7. Support groups enable survivors to share experiences and to find and offer support to one another in a safe, confidential setting. We focus on education, empowerment, self-esteem, problem solving, and reduction of anxiety and stress resulting from victimization and safety issues.

These two support groups are for victims and survivors of family/domestic violence and for sexual assault survivors. Support groups for male survivors of sexual assault/abuse, for partners of sexual assault/abuse survivors, and for non-offending parents of sexually abused children are also offered. Child advocacy is available. There is no cost to you to attend group.

Please call for more information, to 883-HELP (4357) in Latah County or 332-HELP (4357) in Whitman County. You will be treated with respect and in confidence.
