Operation Care, a local non-profit organization providing domestic violence and sexual assault support services, is offering a 10-week support group for women survivors of  Domestic Violence. The workshop is intended to provide a confidential setting for women to connect with each other and build healthy friendships. Discussion topics will include the cycle of violence, the effects of violence on children and building healthy relationships. Amador County has received reports of domestic violence, and at least 3 fatalities resulting from violence against women in the last decade. These figures may be skewed, as many victims of Domestic Violence do not report abuse. The first session begins on Thursday, February 21 at 5:30pm. For those interested in attending, please call  Denise at 223-2897. For the Operation Care 24-hour crisis hotline, call 223-2600.
