Understanding the powerlessness felt by people who have survived violence or other types of abuse can often be the biggest barrier to helping.  This session is designed to help participants start to understand how powerlessness can affect decision-making and the ability to act.  Breaking through the common conception that “I would never let that happen”, this program can be tailored to address specific types of abuse, or can be presented from a general helping model.

"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion.
If you want to be happy, practice compassion."
The Dalai Lama
