Support Graceful Confidence provides.
These are the resources Graceful Confidence offers directly, or connects participants with through our own work. This page will grow as our programs do. If you're looking for outside crisis or community services, visit our Safety & Privacy page instead.
Peer Support
A small group of survivors, led by survivors. Peer Support is our first developing project, with our first group planned for mid-January 2027, and free to participants.
Understanding Intimate Partner Violence
An educational resource on recognizing patterns of intimate partner violence and understanding what recovery and rebuilding can look like.
More resources are on the way
As Graceful Confidence's six-pillar Program grows through the partnerships we're building, this page will be updated with additional resources across Secure Housing, Teaching Life Skills, Restoring Confidence, Overcoming Trauma, Changing Patterns, and Gaining Independence. See the full Program →
Books that have helped us understand trauma, abuse, and healing. Read at your own pace.
Understanding Abuse & Controlling Behavior
Why Does He Do That?
A former abuser-counselor's look inside the mindset and thinking patterns of angry and controlling men.
Should I Stay or Should I Go?
A guide to honestly evaluating whether an abusive or unhealthy relationship can realistically change.
Trauma & Healing
The Body Keeps the Score
How trauma reshapes the body and brain, and the paths available for healing.
Healing the Child Within

A Gift to Myself
A guided workbook companion for putting Healing the Child Within into practice.
If you live with someone who monitors you, a library copy or e-book may be safer than a physical book at home.
Some of these books describe trauma in detail. Take breaks and reach out for support if you need it.
Give a Book
Help us build a lending library for women in our programs. A gift to our general fund helps us purchase and share books like these.
