Global Woman P.E.A.C.E. Foundation FGM/C Support Group: Our June survivors support group meeting was cancelled due to the month of Ramadan. It will resume in July. These meetings are for women who are in the process of healing (emotionally and physically) and wish to receive emotional support in a group setting. During support group meetings, participants can share any aspect of their stories that they wish to reveal and are showered with unconditional love and support. In addition to scheduled group meetings, individual support meetings are available, recommended, and encouraged for any survivor who may not be ready or interested in attending group meetings. To schedule one-on-one meetings, please contact us at the following email address info@globalwomanpeacefoundation.org or call 703.818.3787 to inform us of your interest in attending individual sessions with one of our staff members. Confidentiality, respect, and an abundance of understanding and unconditional acceptance are our fundamental objectives. Our group facilitator is Willa Jones, Ph.D., a District of Columbia licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience. The Global Woman P.E.A.C.E. Foundation staff person, who will also attend group sessions, is Amie Jallah. You are invited to come out and let us support and celebrate your growth and progress at our group sessions in July, at 3920 Alton Place, NW, Washington, DC 20016 from noon until 1 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.
