New Hope Partners weekly groups are a critical support for families living with domestic violence. Evidence shows that domestic violence peer support group programs are particularly effective in "alleviating depression and stress, increasing self-esteem, self-efficacy and psychological well-being.'' When participants are asked how the group helped them, women mention feeling empowered, more valued, more confident and having new coping tools to make needed changes in their lives. Our groups reported more tangible support, higher internal locus of control and greater satisfaction with our services.
