Date & Time

October 21, 2025, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Description

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. 

This week, we'll focus on understanding and communicating healthy boundaries in relationships. We'll explore the difference between boundaries, requests, and rules, the importance of internal boundaries, and why enforceability matters. Together, we'll challenge common misconceptions and build tools for more grounded, respectful connection.

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.
