Support Groups
Share your experience with people who believe you.
360 Communities offers spaces for people to share their experiences of trauma and ask questions. A trained advocate facilitates each group to help guide the conversations and help people process and cope with their unique circumstances.
Domestic and sexual violence impacts thinking, emotions, and behavior. Support groups can help individuals better understand what happened, give emotional support, and provide tools to help heal. They can rebuild confidence and help people regain a sense of control as they continue on a path of healing.
