Sheltered Aid to Families in Emergencies, known as SAFE, is starting two new support groups for local women recovering from domestic or sexual violence. SAFE’s sexual abuse survivor group will meet the second and fourth Tuesday of each month from 6:00 until 7:00 p.m. Its next meeting will be August 11th.  SAFE’s abusive relationship survivor group will meet the first and third Monday of each month from 5:15 until 6:15 p.m. Its next meeting will be Aug. 17th. Both groups meet at the SAFE office at 1260 College Avenue, just off School Street in Wilkesboro. Each group meeting includes sharing time for group members and a brief educational discussion led by a member of the SAFE staff. The groups are free and open to the public. For more information, call SAFE at (336) 838-9169.
