A fresh crop of support groups will be launching in February. Doubly fresh as we’re also launching different types of groups simultaneously to meet the varying needs of the women in our community.
Introducing: DGM Step Groups. . .
1) First Step Groups
First Step Groups are for women who are new in their recovery and/or who have never been a part of any support group before. In this group we will be reading and discussing No Stones – Women Redeemed from Sexual Addiction by Marnie Ferree.
Two different group times are available to choose from. Tuesday mornings beginning February 15 from 10-11am (CST) or Thursday nights beginning February 17 from 9pm-10pm (CST). Groups meet via web-conferencing on Tokbox.com for 12 consecutive weeks.
Register and agree to our group terms HERE
2) Next Step Groups
Next Step Groups will take things a little bit deeper. We will follow the curriculum recommended by FreedomEveryday.org called The L.I.F.E. Guide for Women also written by Marnie Ferree. This curriculum is loosely based on the 12-Steps of AA/SA and will serve as DGM’s only “steps-based” group. This also means this group will be an open group without an end-date. This material is quite in-depth and is reserved for those women who are serious about their recovery and are seeking accountability, sponsors and genuine healing.
Group will open weekly beginning Tuesday, February 15 from 9pm-10pm (CST) via web-conferencing on Tokbox.com. A Tokbox account is required to participate.
Registration is not required for Next Step Groups, but you must agree to our group terms before participating. Following agreement of terms, you will be provided the secure link for participation via email.
3) Step Up Groups
Step Up Groups will be facilitator training groups for women who want to begin leading recovery groups of their own or as part of DGM’s volunteer team. More info coming soon!
That’s great! Looks like your ministry is doing wonderful!
