On Sunday August 24, 2008 Janice Pettigrew and Fresh Start for Women teamed with Darlene Sheardon and NuRevelations to conduct a seminar for victims of domestice violence entitled, "Battered But Not Broken." This was a powerful seminar, in which the women in attendance truly bared their souls as they worked their way to healing. An intergal part of that healing is forgiveness and Janice Pettigrew led the session discussing why forgiveness is important. As has been the case in times past victims readily forgive their abusers but forgiving themselves takes a little more time. After the seminar participants were willing to put in the extra effort required to actively forgive and move forward. Mrs. Pettigrew admitted that the process is not an easy one but that the benefits are just too important not to give it your all.
Fresh Start for Women and NuRevelations make a dynamic team and plans are in the works to jointly conduct more informative seminars for women in need.
