Counselling can be packaged into 4, 8 or 12 x weekly sessions, with extended options available. Counselling services can be offered as a continuation of care option for women who are, or have, accessed other Toora Women Inc AOD programs (including day programs and residential services). Counsellors also deliver a ‘Healing Trauma Group’ four times a year, with sessions focused on psycho-education about power and abuse, the process of trauma, trauma symptoms, anger, grounding and self-care and respectful relationships.1
