You Are Not Alone (YANA)

A free, 6-week online support group for women impacted by family violence who would like to join with other women to express themselves as well as regain their sense of self through learning, sharing, connecting and creating.

This group will give you an opportunity to talk about your experiences and learn from other women.

Our facilitators will take you through topics including:

  • understanding family violence and its impacts on women and their children
  • strategies to create or re-establish appropriate parent-child relationships
  • skills to manage and support children’s behaviours and emotions
  • hope and empowerment for a new future.

Women who attended similar groups at Relationships Australia Victoria found them to be a helpful and supportive way to learn more about their rights and support options, rebuild their identity and begin to heal.

Who can attend

Women affected by family violence who live in the following local government areas: Bacchus Marsh, Boroondara, Cardinia, Casey-North, Casey-South, Dandenong, Hobsons Bay, Keilor, Manningham, Melbourne or Monash.
