Counseling Services offers a support group for students who have been impacted by sexual assault and/or relationship violence. Support groups occur when students with common issues choose to get together and support one another in coping with those issues. Usually, a counselor will meet with the support group once or twice to get them started and then the students continue to meet on their own as they choose. Counseling Services staff will arrange space on campus for support groups to meet. Students do not need to be clients of Counseling Services to participate. Click here for more information.
