Women supporting women with experiences of abuse
R.E.S.P.E.C.T. is dedicated to providing support, education and advocacy for women who have experienced abuse by an intimate partner.
We offer support groups for women who have experienced abuse. Our facilitators are experienced counsellors and women who have lived experience with harmful relationships, and with the healing and growth that is possible.
Our 10 week groups meet online and they are free to participants. If you think this might be what you need, please contact us.
Important note: We do not provide emergency services. If you are (or think you might be) in danger, please call 911 or contact one of the transition houses on our resources page.
