Support Groups For Survivors of Sexual Violence

• Share Your Strength Storytelling Support Group
  The Share Your Strength storytelling support group is a space where female identified survivors will have the opportunity to share their stories and get support while supporting others to create a community of healing. In addition to creating a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space for each survivor to share her story, the group will discuss healing, breaking silence, coping, self care, isolation, trauma, and other topics that impact the lives of survivors. An informal intake interview with the group facilitators is required for each group member. Women of all abilities, ages, classes, ethnicities, orientations, races, and religions are welcome. Funds are available for childcare, and we will make any necessary accommodations if you are a person with a disabilitiy or require accommodation.
