Please comment your favorite resources that have helped you on your healing journey. These can be books, podcasts, music, types of therapy, types of art or creativity, physical activities, social media accounts/youtube channels (they can be in ANY category). Eventually, I will make an ongoing document that categorizes these things and it can be a useful list for people to reference!

Hello everyone! I'm excited to be leading the group today and seeing you all. I did have a presentation about post-traumatic growth and community healing. Unfortunately, I have a sore throat and I'm coming down with a cold. It'll be best for me to not talk too much. Instead, we can focus on sharing. Hopefully I'm doing better by next Sunday and I can show you my presentation. See you soon 😊💫

I have some upcoming Sundays when I will be traveling and unavailable to host this meeting. If anyone would be interested in subbing, please reach out to me! This group is very open-ended, so you are welcome to run it in your own style or use the format that I use. You're welcome to get creative with it, or just facilitate holding space for everyone to check in with each other without a set topic or presentation. And, if you feel like you wouldn't feel comfortable subbing on your own but would like to co-facilitate someone to have some help, we can try to arrange that!

Hey everyone, I wanted to ask your advice on any group rules you think we should add. I'm open to any suggestions and would appreciate your insight! 1. Confidentiality: Please take these meetings in private locations or wear headphones. Since this is a women's support group, no men should be present. 2. Keep shares under 5 minutes. If you're someone who shares often, be mindful of leaving space for others. 3. Don't give advice unless someone explicitly asks for it. 4. Maintain boundaries around connecting outside of the group and giving our personal information.

Hello everyone! It appears there will not be a Virtual Support Group for Women Sexual Abuse Survivors because it's the day before 4th of July. I'm sharing this reminder because it was mentioned in today's meeting. The next one will be held on July 10th. Please let me know if I'm wrong.
