Why Our Work Is Important
Overcoming Powerlessness (OCP) is dedicated entirely to the education, support, and awareness of individuals who seek to break patterns that maintain psychologically abusive behavior in order to begin a journey toward personal growth and overcoming powerlessness.
OCP EXISTS TO:
Encourage individuals to take appropriate action
Enable victims to recover their self respect
Educate about healthy relationships
Empower individuals toward healthy self-protection and responsible self care
Promote awareness of emotional abuse and its debilitating effects

GROUP MEETINGS
Group meetings are for individuals over the age of 18. Meetings are a maximum of 2 hours and focus on specific topics with handouts, exercises, and open discussion. Topics include: defining abuse, rebuilding damaged self-image, confronting abuse, dependency, abandonment, grief and loss, setting boundaries, healthy relationships, concerns about children, and sexual abuse.
FEES
There is a requested donation of $15 per session. However, each person is asked to make a commitment in an amount that is workable for them. Donation of time for volunteer work is also an acceptable form of payment for those who can not afford the sessions. Click here for volunteer information.
