Bloom for Catholic Women (for females)

Integrity Restored has created a website for women called Bloom for Catholic Women that is designed to help women traumatized by their husband’s sexual and/or pornography addition. The site offers therapeutic and Catholic-based online courses for women in need of healing and is dedicated to helping them gain confidence, hope, and resilience through professional therapeutic support, spiritual insight, educational resources, and an empathetic community.

Hope’s Garden (for women)

Hope’s Garden is a private community of women sharing their joys, sorrows, triumphs and trials along the path of healing and freedom in Christ. Becoming a member of Hope’s Garden is free of charge and gives you access to their community forums, healing prayer and support groups, therapeutic tools and resources, prayer gatherings, book discussions, Catholic sisterhood and a private area for those healing from betrayal trauma.
