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 how to ask others for support. Whether it’s from a friend, family member, or loved one, we’ll explore strategies for reaching out, overcoming discomfort, and communicating your needs clearly so you can build stronger, more supportive connections.

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.
