We Believe You is a
support group for survivors of gender-based harm, offering
community-building, support, and healing through weekly topics. We will
explore topics including: self-care, boundary-setting, and empowerment
after trauma.
For our first group of the fall semester, we will be discussing the importance of social support, as well as talking about what you would like to see in future groups this semester!
Whether
you’re a returning participant or it’s your first time stopping by,
we’d love to have you join the discussion. No prior attendance is
needed—everyone is welcome!
Come as you are, bring your thoughts (or just come to listen), and let’s navigate these important conversations together.
Taking place weekly,
the We Believe You discussion group aims to create a safe space to
center the experiences of survivors of gender-based violence. This group will
adhere to the Women's Center Brave Space model to provide a welcoming
environment and thoughtful community to engage in conversations focused
on support and healing for survivors.
Fall 2025: We will meet weekly on Tuesdays from 2:00pm-3:00pm in the Women's Center Lounge!
All
survivors and allies are welcome so long as they respect survivors and
their truths. We request that students do not use this space for class
research or interviews. This event and center is
open for full participation by all individuals regardless of race,
color, religion, sex, national origin, or any other protected category
under applicable federal law, state law, and the University's nondiscrimination policy.
