Objectives Present an overview of the factors of setting up a support group Supply information about curricula Provide concrete ideas for how to make your groups successful and trauma informed 1
2 Does your agency currently have a sexual assault support group? Support Groups Survivors can find strength by connecting to each other. While every survivor's experience is unique, being in a room with people who have had similar experiences can be a powerful form of support and validation. Groups promote a feeling of empowerment, as survivors see each others strengths and gain hope. -Washington Coalition of Sexual Assault Programs Approach Hear other survivors speak Provide peer level support A unique form of healing 2
3 Open Groups A group in which participants are able to attend as frequently as they want and new participants are always welcome Closed Groups A group in which there is a set start and end date and a set number of participants Victimization type Gender Age Sexuality Primary language Race/Ethnicity Secondary survivors Types of Groups 3
4 Types of Groups Collaborations with other organizations Jails/prisons Mental health providers Substance abuse facilities Spiritual groups Naming Your Group Courageous Women (holistic SA group) AMAC (Adults Molested As Children) Proud Survivors (LGBT+ SA group) What have you named your group? Frequency Most beginning support groups meet weekly One-time groups 4
5 Choosing a Location DV/SA program Local organizations/social service agencies Schools Religious centers Community centers Libraries Choosing a Time Church/religious schedules Organization/community meetings Any available transportation opportunities School schedules Facilitators Having two facilitators is ideal but the number of facilitators should be tailored to the number of participants 5
