CENTRE Against Violence (CAV) is excited to announce the return of its Empowered Healing program, designed to offer women who have experienced sexual and family violence a chance to reclaim their power, heal, and connect with others who understand their journey.
The Empowered Healing program offers women a safe, intimate space to reflect, heal, and rebuild.
The groups will be running in both Wodonga and Wangaratta, beginning in February.
Through eight guided sessions, participants will explore the lasting effects of trauma, build emotional resilience, and feel empowered to take control of their healing.
Darcy Fyffe, team leader of Therapeutic Services at CAV, said empowerment begins with reclaiming your inner strength.

"In this program, we create a space where women can feel safe to explore their emotions and experiences, realising they are not alone in their journey.
"Healing is about embracing your whole self and finding the courage to move forward.”
The program is intentionally designed to be small and intimate, with 7-8 participants per group, to foster meaningful connections and deeper understanding.
Through shared experiences and insights, participants can expect breakthroughs that will help them navigate their healing path with clarity and confidence.
Previous participants have found that the program not only deepened their understanding of the trauma they experienced but also helped them reclaim their sense of self.
“It was empowering to finally speak openly about what I’d been through; I learned to be kinder to myself, I learned that I am not alone in my experience,” one participant said. “I found tools such as the Calm Place Script especially helpful and soothing, I would highly recommend the program to anyone that needs support,” another said.
Why Empowered Healing?
• A supportive community: Women will build lasting relationships with others who truly understand their experience.
• Understanding trauma’s impact: Participants will gain insights into how trauma affects both mind and body, empowering them to respond with greater awareness.
• A safe, confidential environment: Healing happens when women can speak openly and support each other in a space where they feel respected and valued.
The Empowered Healing program is a chance to rediscover strength, find solace, and heal in the company of others who are walking similar paths.
