People of all genders and sexualities experience domestic violence and can benefit from the connection offered by a support group. We are happy to announce that we’ll be offering a women’s group AND an open-gender group this April! Please share this information with your clients, program participants, colleagues, and anyone else you think could benefit.

Cohort details:

Open-Gender Group

Women’s Group
Wednesday, April 19th, 2023 - Wednesday, June 21st; 6:00pm-7:30pm CST

This group may be for you if you have experienced sexual and/or domestic violence and are looking for a collective, welcoming space to connect with yourself and with others as you continue on your healing journey. Participants do not need to live in Minnesota to participate in this group.

Pop-Up Advocacy: New Location!

We’re excited to announce that starting on April 6th, we will be offering Pop-Up Advocacy services weekly at the Opportunity Center, located on the Dorothy Day campus in downtown St. Paul from 12:00-3:00pm every Thursday. The Opportunity Center is the largest homeless day center in Minnesota and provides food, toiletries, medical care, and connections to county services to hundreds of people each day. We’re looking forward to providing domestic violence advocacy to our unhoused neighbors.

You can still find our Community Outreach Advocates at the Rondo Community Outreach Library on Tuesdays from 11am-3pm. We’re available to anyone at that location, and would be happy to talk to you or your clients about domestic violence resources.

We try to make our events as accessible as possible by offering them for free.
