The Wise Women's Circle meets weekly and is a support group for women who are 50 years and older and who have been, or might still be, in an abusive relationship. At the South Okanagan Women in Need Society, we define abuse as emotional, psychological, sexual, neglect, financial and physical. For most women who have been abused, physical abuse is usually a small part of an abusive relationship. We also know that abuse can come from people other than intimate relationships, including adult children and caregivers. To learn more about this Penticton-based weekly support group, call Brigid Kemp, the Older Women's Liaison at 493-4366.
