About Stronger Women
Survivors often move on, but are left overwhelmed by shame, fear, low self-esteem and powerlessness. Because LOVE has always come with a promise – and then pain – survivors; feel disconnected and even pain when they hear the word Love, especially the notion, “God loves you.”
Every Stronger session is written for survivors by survivors. This insight an integral piece to understanding the survivors’ journey from hurt to healing through restorative and prevention programs.
The Stronger healing model combines proven curriculum, the power of small groups, and ongoing development of practical tools to restore survivors.
Stronger focuses on exponential growth by equipping certified facilitators to launch restorative healing groups in their local community, church and organization.
As survivors tell their stories, they begin to heal from trauma in a safe and supportive setting. Participants gain: Increased self-awareness, renewed thought patterns, develop healthier coping mechanisms, build resilience, improved self-esteem, establish healthy boundaries, improve family and parenting skills, improved communication skills, and healthier relationships.
We believe it is critical to provide practical tools so everyone can walk alongside these survivors in their healing journey with respect and dignity.
