The Nest offers an ongoing support group for victims and survivors of domestic violence who are not in shelter. The group is called Woman to Woman, or “W2W”, and meets every Wednesday from 2-3 PM at the Sweet Charity Resale Boutique.
The group is facilitated by one of the Nest’s professionally trained, bilingual advocates. It focuses on providing support for survivors and their children. “Resource referral is one thing we do, but mostly we want to provide a safe environment where people can share their stories and their fears. Talking through problems with people who have been in similar situations is very helpful,” says W2W Group Facilitator Corina Montoya.
The W2W survivor group is held in English, but the Nest also offers a support group in Spanish. “We want to make sure every woman in our community has a place to go to for ongoing support,” states Montoya.
There is no cost to attend and bilingual services are available. Sweet Charity is located at 26156 US Highway 70 in Ruidoso Downs, between Jorge’s and Wal-Mart. For further information, call the Nest at 378-6378.
