At The Willow Centre, we believe safety, dignity and respect are the foundation of a fulfilling life. Guided by a trauma-informed practice and genuine human connection, we support meaningful change through safe relationships. Grounded in clinical expertise, real world knowledge, we equip individuals and frontline professionals with practice tools to heal, grow and reconnect.

What we offer

Online group Programs

The Willow Group is an 8 week online support group to support victim survivors of family violence.

We teach strategies, build understanding and leave space for connection to those who truly know what you have been through.

This group is designed for people in a phase of recovery, stability and rebuilding, and are no longer living with the person using violence.

The group is limited to 10 spots and ran by two experienced facilitators to ensure safety, depth and care.

Self referrals and organisational referrals accepted.
