This article explores the authors’ practice observations of female domestic violence survivors’journey fromfirst agency contact to active participation in a support group process. The authors have witnessed female victims of domestic violence challenging the social isolation imposed by their dominant partners as they search for meaning in their lives. As practitioners, they have observed women building trustful relationships and establishing supportive networks during the group process. In this article, the authors suggest that the support group process facilitates trust and network formation indicative of social capital.

Key Words: social capital • domestic violence • women • groups • trust
