Our meetings follow the ASCA (Adult Survivors of Child Abuse) format. To quote the Survivor to Thriver manual: 'The purpose of ASCA meetings is to allow survivors to share their abuse and recovery experiences, to receive support and affirmation for their recovery efforts; to try out new, more adaptive behaviors and, in so doing, to better understand themselves and their recovery process.' This is a peer support group not a therapy group and is for abuse survivors only.
