As an adult survivor of sexual abuse or assault, you have been living with these memories for a long time. Some survivors keep the abuse a secret for many years. You may have tried to tell an adult and met with resistance or felt there was no one you could trust. For these reasons and many others, the effects of sexual abuse can occur many years after the abuse has ended. Remember that there is no set timeline for dealing with and recovering from this experience. The group can provide the safe space for you to receive the support you have long needed but never quite found.

When:         Wednesdays, 3:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.
