Critical “Next-Step” for Moving On After Abuse

“Living well is the best revenge” is the theme of the My Avenging Angel Workshops™ being offered twice a year in Avon and Wethersfield, Connecticut by Susan M. Omilian of West Hartford — the workshop’s award-winning originator and facilitator.

Described by participants as “life-changing,” these workshops provide the critical “next step” for women to break permanently out of the cycle of violence and “thrive” after abuse.

Workshops are Free

Sponsored by the Hartford Hospital Domestic Violence Prevention Program, and supported by Connecticut Alliance for Victim of Violence and Their Families Inc. (CT-ALIVE), the workshops are free of charge.  Dates of the upcoming Fall, 2013 workshops are posted on www.myavengingangel.com.
