Confidentiality is very important when attending domestic violence support groups. Someplace Safe, Inc., has a confidentiality agreement that does not allow any information concerning any staff, volunteers, child care workers, or other group members to be disclosed. There may be very personal feelings and issues discussed during group, and this information cannot be shared with anyone outside of the group, including family, friends, and other individuals. Confidentiality allows support group members to feel safe and secure when participating in support group activities. This helps to ensure the productivity of the groups and gives the support group members a safe non-judgmental environment where participants are able to explore their domestic violence issues and verbalize their emotions.
