We Have a Healing Group for You!
We would love for you to join our survivor-led healing group! We provide a safe, warm, comforting environment where survivors become thrivers. No matter what you've been through, we will walk alongside you in your journey to healing and wholeness.

Each member must buy a Box of Hope beforehand to participate in the group.

The cost of the box is $40 + shipping.

For over 16 years, we have been using the Shelter From The Storm curriculum to help women whose lives have been affected by sexual abuse. Recently, we purchased the rights to this program and redesigned it to make it our own. Although the content remains unchanged, our new curriculum is more empowering and effective.
This proven program has helped countless women recognize and halt destructive behaviors holding them back from living their best lives. We are proud to offer this life-changing course to those who need it most and look forward to continuing to impact the lives of those we serve positively.
-
Journaling is a helpful tool for survivors to manage their symptoms and enhance their mood by allowing them to prioritize their problems, fears, and concerns. To facilitate this, every participant who purchases a Box of Hope from Trees of Hope will receive a specially crafted Trees of Hope journal. They can use it to track their weekly progress and emotions. Additionally, they will receive weekly affirmation cards to motivate them to keep moving forward. It's important to note that the journal and affirmation cards are only available in the Box of Hope, which can be purchased directly from Trees of Hope and not from Amazon.
FAQs About Our Shelter Group for Women
How do participants sign up for a SHELTER group?
Shelter Groups are held in the Spring, Summer, and Fall semesters. Each semester is 13 weeks in length. All groups are posted on the Trees of Hope website several months before the start of that semester. The Trees of Hope website will be the main location where all participants can register for a group. However, a church may have information about the hosted groups on their events page, where a link should redirect to the Trees of Hope website.
How many participants are in Shelter Groups?
Shelter Groups have a maximum of eight participants. We keep the group numbers low to foster openness and transparency and to allow all attendees to participate fully.
What ages are required to participate in Shelter GROUP?
Participants in Shelter Groups are required to be at least 18 years of age.
If someone was sexually abused as a teen or an adult, can they participate in a healing group?
Yes. The same principles for healing from childhood sexual abuse can be applied to sexual abuse as a teen or an adult.
What are the Shelter Groups meeting schedules?
Participants in Shelter Groups will attend their group meetings once a week for 13 weeks. We do not have set days or times, as groups vary per semester.
