Service Description

THRIVE - Online Support Group for Domestic & Family Violence Recovery A Safe, Supportive Community for Healing, Insight and Empowerment Healing from domestic or family violence is not a journey you should ever have to walk alone. Whether your experience is part of the past, unfolding in the present, or you’re striving to break generational patterns for the future, the THRIVE Support Group offers a safe, confidential, and compassionate space to reconnect with your strength. Hosted online via Zoom and open to participants across Australia, THRIVE is a 2-hour monthly support and education group designed to help you move from surviving to truly thriving. Here, your story is honoured, your safety is prioritised, and your healing is supported with care, knowledge, and community. Why THRIVE? Domestic and family abuse often isolates survivors - emotionally, socially, and psychologically. THRIVE is grounded in the belief that knowledge is power, connection is healing, and community restores what abuse attempts to break. In this group, you will: - learn practical tools for emotional regulation, boundaries and self-protection - understand cycles of abuse and how to disrupt them - rebuild trust in yourself and others - connect with peers who genuinely understand your experience - explore healthier relationship patterns - strengthen your inner voice, agency, and sense of self - receive guidance from a trained DFV-informed counsellor - feel supported in a space where you are believed, respected, and safe This group is not group therapy; rather, it blends psychoeducation, reflective discussion, peer support, and empowerment-based learning. What the THRIVE Sessions Include. Across each 2-hour online session, you can expect: - gentle check-ins and grounding - educational content relevant to healing and safety - facilitated group conversations - strategies for coping, recovering and rebuilding - opportunities to learn from shared wisdom - moments of connection, validation and encouragement THRIVE is structured, supportive, and paced with sensitivity to the lived realities of domestic and family violence. THRIVE offers a community that honours your resilience and supports your journey toward empowerment, peace, and self-trust. When you’re ready, we’re here.
