Each woman will be encouraged to identify her strengths and goals and to use the group to do her personal growing in the areas she chooses. The group will encourage an increasing awareness of self as an individual in interaction with others, provide an opportunity to get feedback and experiment with new behaviors.
First session Sunday, January 28, 1-5 p.m., and 6 Wednesdays, January 31-March 1, 7:30-9:30 p.m.
Work Blahs and What You Can Do About Them: We will focus on problems we as women face in changing jobs/careers and being in a financial survival rut. Self-exploration and information-seeking methods will be used as bases for decision making. 6 Tuesdays, February 6-March 13, 7:30-9:30 p.m. Echoes of Rape: Rape has long echoes for women who have experienced it or care about someone who has. In this support group we will share those echoes, the meaning of rape and its aftermath, and help each other learn to turn it into knowledge and strength. Offered in conjunction with the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center.
6. Mondays, February 5-March 12, 7:30-9:30 p.m. at the Rape Crisis Center, YWCA, 3201 Euclid Avenue.
Assertiveness Training: Learn positive ways to stand up for personal rights and express your needs and feelings without violating the rights of others. We will examine our current behaviors and feelings in this area. Then the focus will be on learning communication which is neither hostile nor submissive. There will be opportunities to practice new behaviors

6 Mondays, February 12-March 19, 7:30-9:30p.m.
WINTER WORKSHOPS
Anger: Buried anger is an unnecessary burden. Released anger enables us to re-experience warmth and pleasure. In a safe environment, we will work in practical ways to let our anger out and learn to use it as a tool.
2 Sundays, March 18 and 25, 10 a.m.-3 p.m., and Wednesday, March 21, 7:30-10:00 p.m.
Sexual Identity: This workshop will provide a safe space, free from labels and categories, in which to explore and clarify sexual feelings toward other women. The purpose of the workshop is not to "determine" your sexual identity, nor is it assumed that any specific sexual identity is preferable. The process of structured activities and general discussion will allow participants to explore where they are now and where they want to go.
Saturday, February 17, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
Women experiencing severe psychological/emotional stress should not participate in a group.or workshop.
