Support Group Sessions are every Monday starting on 7/17/23 from 7:00pm to 8:30pm

Are you a woman who is an emotional abuse survivor or struggling with anxiety and depression? Emotional abuse is a form of abuse that involves the use of words or actions to control, manipulate, or intimidate another person. It can include things like name-calling, insults, threats, isolation, and controlling behavior. Emotional abuse can have a devastating impact on the victim, causing them to feel isolated, worthless, and hopeless.

Are you looking for a safe place to talk with a community of women who have been there too? Well, you have found the right group! In this group, we talk about our struggles and experiences, learn coping skills, build support networks, and help each other through with support and empathy.

This group is hosted by the nonprofit organization &Rise. &Rise offers free weekly support groups that are 100% private, 100% confidential, and 100% supportive! We offer groups in-person (In Chicago and Lombard Illinois) and several weekly virtual options as well.

Please note, this is not a therapy group but a peer-led community of female survivors supporting and talking with one another about their experiences and healing. This group is for women who are survivors of childhood sexual abuse, sexual assault, sexual harassment, coercion, etc.

We have an amazing group of ladies that are kind and know what you are going through. You do not have to suffer alone or suffer in silence, we are here for you! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

Emotional abuse is a form of abuse that involves the use of words or actions to control, manipulate, or intimidate another person. It can include things like name-calling, insults, threats, isolation, and controlling behavior. Emotional abuse can have a devastating impact on the victim, causing them to feel isolated, worthless, and hopeless.
Support groups can provide a number of benefits for survivors of emotional abuse, including:

* A sense of community: Survivors of emotional abuse often feel isolated and alone. Support groups can provide a sense of community and belonging, where they can connect with others who have shared experiences.
* Validation: In a support group, survivors can have their experiences validated by others who understand what they are going through. This can help to reduce feelings of shame and guilt.
* Coping skills: Support groups can teach survivors coping skills to help them deal with the emotional and psychological effects of abuse.
* Hope: Support groups can provide survivors with hope for the future. By seeing other survivors who have healed and moved on, they can learn that it is possible to overcome the effects of abuse and build a happy and healthy life.

If you are interested in finding an emotional abuse support group, there are a few resources available to help you. You can contact your local domestic violence shelter or crisis center, or you can search online for support groups in your area.
Here are some of the benefits of participating in an emotional abuse support group:

* Reduced feelings of isolation and loneliness: Emotional abuse can make you feel like you're the only one going through it. Being in a support group can help you realize that you're not alone and that there are other people who understand what you're going through.
* Increased self-esteem: Emotional abuse can take a toll on your self-esteem. Being in a support group can help you rebuild your self-esteem and learn to value yourself again.
* Improved coping skills: Emotional abuse can make it difficult to cope with stress and difficult emotions. Being in a support group can help you learn new coping skills to deal with the challenges of life after abuse.
* Increased hope for the future: Emotional abuse can make it difficult to see a positive future for yourself.
