TERRACE — Three local
organizations groups are star-
ting a support group to help
cope with what aspokesman for
one of them calls the cycle of
violence toward women.

Karen Walker of the Terrace
Victims Assistance. Program
says the group for women in
abusive relationships is designed
to give them skills, education
and information.,:

“We want to build the skills
necessary for a woman to decide
for herself what an acceptable
kind of relationship is,”’ said
Walker. _

Too often, said Walker, a
woman might be abused by her
husband yet return after he pro-
mises never to do it again.

“The cycle of violenceJs most
misunderstood. It’s hard for a
woman to get out. There will be
an explosive kind of incident
after which the woman feels
demoralized or humiliated. The
husband is repentant or sorry
and that is often’ genuine. The
woman responds and things are
fine for awhile but the tension
builds and the cycle starts
again,” she said.

Walker added that violence
may be verbal, emotional and

sexual as well bs: physi
“There’s a large nee
kind of support. There’s'a lot of
domestic violence in Terrace —
as there is across the country,”
she said, aoe
Walker said the goal of the
support group is not to break-up

relationships or marriages but
to give women information and .

help to which they don’t now

‘have access. .

One of the more important:
aspects is to have women
understand they aren’t alone in:
their problems, she said. ‘

“There are resaurces out

‘there in the community that:

many women aren’t aware of,:
We'll be going into building self;
esteem, assertiveness training,’",
said Walker. :

The support group is being:
sponsored by the victims:
assistance program, the Terrace:

Transition House and the sexual *

assault centre. It starts in early.
May and has one session a week
for 10 weeks. '

More information is available
