Support Group Opportunities

Email Kayce if you have a support group starting up available to survivors outside your catchment area - either in person or virtually.

AMHC
Beginning September 14th AMHC is offering a 10-week zoom course called AWAKENING. Awakening is built for adult sexual assault survivors with substance use. View the flier here.
  • This course is designed to facilitate your healing from addiction and sexual trauma. It is open to adult survivors of any historical sexual trauma/trespass as defined by you, the survivor, who has sought relief through substance use and is not gender-specific. 

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.
