title: Preparing feminist facilitators. Assisting abused women in transitional or support-group settings.
abstract: This article has reviewed one approach to the preparation of support group facilitators to enable them to better meet the needs of abused women. Those women may still be in abusive relationships or they may have left one; they may be unsure whether they are abused; or they may be seeking practical suggestions about ways to tackle a particular problem. Whatever their specific situations, they can benefit from a supportive, accepting, and safe environment in which to explore their options.
