Virtual Support Groups offered by the Sexual Assault and Crime Victims Assistance Program

 

The college’s Counseling and Wellness Services partners with community agencies to provide students with additional specialized support, currently virtually. One of our partnerships is with the Sexual Assault and Crime Victims’ Assistance Program (SACVAP). Please see the additional information provided below to learn more about the virtual support groups being offered by SACVAP.

The Sexual Assault and Crime Victims Assistance Program (SACVAP) is offering a variety of free virtual support groups to help individuals during the coronavirus pandemic. All groups begin the week of Sept. 21 and run for eight weeks. Individuals will need to attend at least six of the eight weeks in order to register. In order to participate, individuals must:

  • Be a victim/survivor of a crime and
  • Be receiving additional support (from SACVAP, another victim assistance program,
    or another mental health provider)
  • Complete a brief intake with the SACVAP staff person who is co-facilitating the group

Preregistration is required by Wednesday, Sept. 16. Individuals who are interested in joining any of these groups should email the contact listed with the group name as the subject line, and their name, contact information, and location in the body of the email.
