Participants learn parenting skills and receive parenting support, in the context of meeting challenges posed by their own histories of trauma and abuse.

Managing Strong Emotions
This group teaches interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance/reality acceptance and mindfulness skills, including dialectical behavioral therapy skills.

Creativity Group
The creative process can heal, foster resilience, and enable insight. This group provides creative exercises and the opportunity to share in a structured environment.

Stress Management Group
Provides tips and coaching associated with relaxation, stress reduction, and anxiety management.

Sexuality Group
This group provides an opportunity for women to explore how their past experiences of trauma and abuse may be impacting their sexuality now. A variety of topics related to sexuality and relationships are also addressed. Women of all sexual orientations are welcome.

Restoring Inner Strength
For women with difficulty with dissociation, this group aims to provide support and guidance in staying focused and in the present.

Trauma Process Group
This group is most appropriate for women who have achieved some stability in their recovery from trauma and/or addiction, and feel ready to explore issues related to their abuse with more depth.

The Women's Health Project provides a supportive, multi-modal outpatient treatment environment, including group and/or individual psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy, for women suffering from trauma or childhood abuse who may also use drugs or alcohol. The focus of the treatment is on creating safety by addressing anxiety, mood, and other symptoms.
