USAFV debuts new support group


Wednesday, July 12 2006
Unalaska, AK – Unalaskans Against Sexual Assault and Family Violence will host a new support group beginning tomorrow night. The program, called Women's Voices, will be a weekly gathering, and USAFV Client Services Coordinator Glennda Holmes says she hopes it will provide a forum in which women can talk about issues they may be facing at home.
Holmes says the point is to create an informal, supportive environment for women who may be uncomfortable talking about personal problems in a less personal setting. In the future, the program will involve speakers and specialists such as alcohol counselors.
Women's Voices' will take place every Thursday from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Alaska Room of the Unalaska Library. Transportation can be arranged by calling USAFV.
