Safe Alliance, formerly United Family Services, says its domestic violence support group in the Lake Norman region will resume every-other-week meetings on Wednesday, Jan. 9. The meetings let women discuss common issues and concerns and build support networks as they cope with an abusive relationship.

Support group meetings are led by Amy Putnam, Safe Alliance Victim Advocate, and Heather Chavis, Client Care Specialist. For time and place or other information,? call 704-808 4743. Please know that your inquiries will be handled as private and confidential.

The support group?s goals include:

• Providing a safe place for women to express feelings openly in a non-judgmental environment.
• Learning from other group members while sharing success stories and challenges in transitioning from violent situations to safety.
• Supporting individuals in varied stages of trauma related specifically to domestic violence.

?All women deserve to be in an emotionally stable and physically safe relationship,? Ms. Putnam said in an announcement. ?If you have ever felt that you have been in an emotional or physically harming relationship, you are not alone. We believe that through our group women can experience empowerment through the support of others who have gone through similar experiences.?

Safe Alliance domestic violence support groups are held every other Wednesday, beginning January 9, 2013 in a confidential location.

Safe Alliance supports victims of domestic and sexual violence, and child abuse and helps people build safe, healthy relationships. We do this through a continuum of shelter, counseling, legal and advocacy services serving over 20,000 people a year in Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Union and south Iredell counties while reaching 20,000 more through advocacy and education.
