Resources for
Peer Support Group Leaders
Support groups help targets of workplace abuse at any stage feel like they’re not alone, giving them support and hope.
Thank you for your interest in leading a peer support group. Know that your work will help many targets who feel helpless, lost, and isolated while abused and in the healing process.
Workplace abuse is a work culture problem and an abuser problem — not a target issue. Support takes targets out of isolation, shows them they’re not the problem, comforts them, and shifts them from a mindset that they should be defined by others to one in which they define their own purpose regardless of what others want.
The goal is to prompt targets to lead purposeful lives by overcoming the frustration and helplessness caused by the abuser but only through sharing in a non-judgmental group. We learn about our responsibilities to ourselves, discover feelings of self-worth and love, and grow spiritually. Emphasis moves from where we lack power — the workplace — to where we do have power — over our own lives.
