Women and Words Talking Group
Target group 55+
Our Counselling and Community Services department will be offering a talking group to women 55+. It’s a safe, confidential space to share and have your experiences and feelings validated by others. Conflict is a normal part of all relationships and can be a healthy way for people to express their emotions or identify an issue. However, it is not always healthy conflict. A relationship with unhealthy conflict can involve non-physical behaviours that belittle the other person and can include; silent treatments, insults, put downs, verbal threats or other tactics that make the other person feel threatened, inferior, ashamed or degraded. Often, in our long-term relationships, these feelings are not acknowledged. This group will provide an avenue to be heard and understood as well as the opportunity to learn ways to cope. This group is not exclusive to intimate partner relationships, it can be any relationship; parents, children, friends, etc. To be eligible for participating in the group you do not have to be in an active relationship that is in the present. The relationship can have been in the past and you may still benefit from connecting with others, being validated and heal from the past.
