Founded in 2010, SupportWorks is a not for profit organisation. SupportWorks is a self help group with a difference. We meet so other women can find what we have found.

All our members have experienced domestic violence and/or abuse. We all know what it's like to have experienced physical, emotional, psychological, financial and/or sexual abuse perpetrated by someone we love or once loved. We are mums, daughters, sisters, nieces, aunts, grandmas and friends.

Some may call us 'victims'; we choose to call ourselves 'survivors'.

We all began our recovery from domestic abuse tightly wrapped in a suffocating and often paralysing cocoon of grief, fear, guilt, loss and anger. Anxiety and depression our constant companions.

We were butterflies without wings - unable to fly. Some of us had forgotten how to, others had never learned.

Today we have found our wings and we choose to fly - many will call this 'empowerment'. Our commitment to reach our full potential, create peace in our homes, equality in our relationships and justice in our community is the Wind Beneath Our Wings.

Please help us to help other women and their children by making a donation.

Together we can break the cycle of abuse for ourselves, our children and our children’s children.
