GROUP FOCUS:

To examine protection and safety issues.
To identify the impact of abuse on the self and the family unit.
To build a positive self concept.
To identify and deal with feelings.
To gain strength from others and break isolation.

All applicants are required to have a screening interview and are also required to
have their own individual counsellor for additional support.
