IWCADV offers group programs to kids and women.
Kids Group
IWCADV offers a kids group every school term. Kids Group provides a fun and relaxed atmosphere and gives children an opportunity to meet with others who have had similar experiences and engage in some enjoyable activities. Children can: learn that they are not responsible for domestic violence; develop new ways of resolving conflict; learn to express their feelings in ways that are respectful to themselves and others and much more.
The topics that Kids Group covers are: - What is domestic violence?
- Recognising feelings and expressing feelings in OK ways
- Self-esteem
- Being assertive
- Families
- Problem solving
- Communication
- Better ways of expressing anger
- Safety
