NEW SUPPORT GROUP Starting January 13th, 2025

Rescued: Surviving and Thriving after Sexual Betrayal

If you’ve experienced the pain of sexual betrayal in your marriage or relationship, you know how overwhelming it can feel. The emotions, questions, and uncertainty can weigh heavily, but you don’t have to face them alone. At Harbor, we’re offering a support group specifically for women who are navigating this challenging journey. Together, we’ll explore the path to healing, drawing from the powerful insights in Shelley Martinkus’s Rescued, a workbook designed to help you move from survival to thriving.

What to expect:

During this six-week, small-group program, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with other women who understand what you’re going through, all within a safe and supportive environment. With a limit of 8 participants, this intimate setting will provide a place for you to share your story, process your emotions, and begin the work of rebuilding trust and emotional well-being.

Who: This group is open to women who have experienced sexual betrayal or infidelity within their marriage or long-term relationships.

When: Monday evenings, 7:00-8:30pm (Eastern Time USA), from January 13th - February 17th, 2025 (six sessions total).

Where: For accessibility reasons, this group will meet remotely via Zoom for all group sessions.

Cost: This group has a one-time fee of $250. Participants will also be asked to purchase their own copy of Rescued, By Shelley Martinkus.
