Survivor Support Group

Survivor Support Group

SPELMAN COLLEGE LAUNCHES WEEKLY PSYCHO-EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT GROUP FOR STUDENT SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT, INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE AND STALKING.

Through the Violence Prevention and Intervention Program, Spelman College is able to increase existing services by establishing a psycho-educational support group. This group will offer student victim/survivors a confidential place to explore impact of interpersonal violence and gain skills in their journey toward healing. The development of a psycho-educational support group is a collaboration between the Violence Prevention & Intervention Program and Counseling Center.
