Turning Trauma into Tenacity

Turning Trauma into Tenacity is a solution-focused narrative therapy group for survivors of sexual violence. Participants of this support group will explore ways of healing through writing exercises, oral sharing, and supportive feedback. This therapeutic group will empower survivors to see themselves as tenacious people with the power to create the lives they want. Through structured writing exercises, survivors will determine their values and goals, uncover their hidden strengths and talents, and craft their preferred futures—ultimately turning their personal narratives into tales of strength and resilience.

The group is offered in six weekly sessions with a closed membership. Our next series will be hosted virtually on Mondays from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm from October 12th to November 16th. This group is free. All interested survivors will need to fill out an inquiry form (linked below) and meet (virtually) with the group facilitators before the start date for a 30-minute screening to ensure the group is a good fit for the survivor. Please contact admin@hopeworksvt.org for more information. Registration closes October 9th, 5PM.

The Healing Journey is a discussion-based support group for survivors of sexual violence. Participants of this support group will explore ways of healing through discussion, mindfulness, and connection. In this group, survivors are offered the space to share their personal experiences and discuss ways of coping with trauma and pathways to healing while finding community with fellow survivors. Some possible session focuses are healthy coping strategies, guilt and shame, and relationships and sexuality.

The group is offered in ten weekly sessions with closed membership. Our next series will be hosted virtually on Mondays 6PM to 7:30PM from October 19th to January 11th (We will not be meeting November 23rd, December 21st, or December 28th). This group is free. All interested survivors will need to fill out an inquiry form and meet (virtually) with the group facilitators before the start date for a 30-minute screening to ensure the group is a good fit for the survivor.
