Current Virtual Groups
Adult Survivors of sexual assault support group is a gender expansive, space for survivors ages 21+, facilitated by a trained professional. Register by emailing groups@bawar.org
NEW GROUP! When survivors come forward to report violence and receive medical care, the process can be complicated and traumatizing even with the most compassionate care team.
If you would like a space to heal in community, process emotions, give/get support, and continue to cope after receiving a SART exam and/or reporting sexual violence, join us for “Surviving Systems“.
This first-ever 6 week peer support group will start on Thursday, March 14th at 1pm. Email us at groups@bawar.org to schedule a brief phone screening.
to be notified about new group offerings and services for survivors.
