Support Group: Express Yourself

An arts-based support group for women who have experienced sexual violence. This group will meet for 4 sessions on Mondays nights from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. The group will provide a safe and creative healing environment for survivors to experiment with self-expression through art, as well as to learn new coping skills. Each session will utilize art activities to explore topics including relationships, self-esteem, emotions, and self-empowerment. This group is open to all women. A pre-screening meeting with the co-facilitators is required.
