Support Groups

CornerHouse Support Groups are twelve-week programs held up to three times per year for adolescents, children, and their caregivers to work towards healing following an experience of abuse or trauma. Family Group is curriculum-based and offers opportunities for children (ages 5-12) and caregivers to learn educational material and process their individual experiences. Adolescent Girl Group is curriculum-based and offers opportunities for adolescent girls (ages 13-15) to learn educational material and process their individual experiences.

Each week, a different topic is addressed related to abuse and healing from trauma. In the family group, the information is provided to the children through directive play therapy: a combination of games, books, puppets, short films, and art activities. Caregivers experience culturally relevant support and information provided through a variety of activities. In the adolescent girl group, the services address the unique developmental needs of adolescents. Through group engagement, participants learn how to identify emotions, and how to feel and express emotions in healthy ways, how to assert boundaries, and process their own experiences of abuse.

Support Group can help:

• Strengthen family relationships

• Provide support to help adolescents, children and caregivers understand, integrate, and heal from their experience

• Decrease isolation that those affected by abuse may experience
