Setting Up Domestic Violence Groups The following items are suggested materials for setting up Domestic Violence Support Groups. The first group is a list of films, manuals and educational curriculums. These are followed by a listing of several books for suggested reading. Beyond this I am still trying to get more specific Guidelines for you. The Center for Battered Women also sent me their Brochure but unless you are in Western Washington State I don't think it will be helpful. I am also trying to contact the DV Coalition in Olympia for additional information.
