Support Groups & Classes
Healthy Relationships
In this group, we explore the elements of a healthy relationship. We develop techniques for boundary setting, assertiveness, realistic goal setting, and decision making. We increase our understanding of abuse, abusive family dynamics, dysfunctional family patterns, and feelings, with an emphasis on anger, fear, anxiety, guilt, and grief. For more information, send an email to ellenn@awareak.org or call (907)586-6623.
Nurturing Parenting Program
The Nurturing Parenting Programs work with the whole household to build nurturing skills. Each family gets a plan for support and learning based on their unique needs through a combination of one-on-one sessions with the family, as well as group sessions with other families. By building nurturing skills, we focus on the positive and take concrete steps toward healthier family dynamics. These programs are trauma-informed and evidence-based, with a 35-year track record to back them up. Click here to learn more.
LGBTQ2+ Support
In addition to the services that AWARE provides for all survivors, Spectrum is a support group specifically by and for folks in the LGBTQ2+ community who have experienced trauma. AWARE also works in partnership with other youth serving organizations in Juneau to facilitate a support group for LGBTQ2+ youth. For more information, email merylc@awareak.org.

Girls on the Run
At Girls on the Run we inspire girls to recognize their inner strength and celebrate what makes them one of a kind. Trained coaches lead small teams through our research-based curricula which includes dynamic discussions, activities and running games. Over the course of the ten-week program, girls in 3rd-8th grade develop essential skills to help them navigate their worlds and establish a lifetime appreciation for health and fitness. The program culminates with girls positively impacting their communities through a service project and being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5K event.
