Support Group Opportunities

Feel free to email Katie K and let her know if you have a support group starting up available to survivors outside your catchment area - either in person or virtually. 

Support Group Facilitator Training

MECASA offers the Support Group Facilitator Training at least once a year, usually in March. Reach out to Katie K for details about the next training.
