Survivor Support Groups

CAPS offers student groups and workshops on a variety of topics and concerns. The right fit between a student and their group is key to a meaningful experience. Learn more about this group or speak with a counselor to find the right group or workshop for you.


Survivors Coming Together

The survivor support group is open to all UA students who have experienced interpersonal violence (intimate partner and dating violence, sexual violence, stalking, harassment, and abuse in any form). It is a space to come together, support each other, and share on topics and issues relevant to your experiences as survivors.

The group is free, confidential, and gender-inclusive. As confidentiality is an important aspect of the group, the group is not open to individuals writing papers for classes or other projects.

Group objectives:

  • Increased understanding of the survivor’s experiences and reactions
  • Receive support in recovering from traumatic experiences
  • Build community with other students

What to expect:

A confidential and gender-inclusive space for (optional) sharing, processing, and relationship building while learning new information and skills to help with healing.

Group Details & Enrollment Information

All groups are in person, free to students, and completely confidential. Students can come to as many groups as they'd like. For more information, email: survivoradvocacy@arizona.edu
