The Jewish Family Service of Central New Jersey will begin “Empowering Yourself Against Abusive Relationships,” a four-session virtual support group led by Monique Carpenter and Marta Otero. It starts on November 6, at 5:30 p.m., and continues November 13, 20, and December 4. The group aims to help participants improve their self-esteem as they explore ways to identify and distance themselves from abusive relationships.

Marta Otero, LSW has been with JFSCNJ since March 2023. She has worked with children and families who have experienced domestic violence, abuse, and abusive relationships. Her previous experience involved providing psychotherapy services as a domestic violence advocate in the court system, and she now provides psychotherapy services for children and families at JFSCNJ.

Monique Carpenter, an MSW graduate student at Stockton University, has experience working with children and families who have encountered abuse and neglect through the Division of Child Protection and Permanency, DCPP, formerly known as DYFS, for more than 20 years. She has interned in a hospital setting and is interning at JFSCNJ.
