UPDATE: We Believe You Discussion Group Meeting Soon!!

Interested in attending? We want your opinion!


The We Believe You (WBY) discussion group is a space for survivors of gender- and power-based violence to build community among one another. This discussion-based program follows 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 of sexual violence. This group centers the experiences of survivors and their allies, but all are welcome!

This semester, we are doing something a bit different... If you are interested in attending biweekly discussion group meetings (i.e. every other week), please sign-up below. 

We will move forward with discussion groups only if we have at least 5 people sign up. Our myUMBC will be updated to reflect either the addition of meetings or a notice that WBY is on hiatus. UPDATE: We have received a lot of interest so rest assured we will be hosting We Believe You for the spring semester! Check out our events for the full calendar.

The deadline to sign up for WBY (Part 1) will be Thursday, February 9th!

Please note: you are free to attend/not attend the group whenever you'd like. Interest in the group and indication of preferred dates does not mean you are obligated to attend. 

For the Spring 2023, we will be hosting a sign-up at the beginning of the semester and at the mid-point (around Spring Break).
Points of contact/co-facilitators of the group are Amelia Meman and Audrey Gatewood. For more information or to get in touch, please email womenscenter@umbc.edu
