Book Support Group

HOPE Works is hosting our first ever book support groups! Come join us in reading and discussing Chanel Miller’s Know My Name, a memoir published in 2019 about a survivor of sexual violence reclaiming identity, navigating the justice system, and her journey of healing after trauma. 

We will host two separate groups- one for survivors of sexual violence and one for supporters and loved ones of survivors. We will meet for three sessions virtually once a month from December to February as we read.

Our discussion will focus on the impacts of sexual violence, healing from trauma, connecting with others, and skills to navigate discussions surrounding difficult topics. We will incorporate mindfulness exercises, journaling, and self-care into our sessions together. 

Our Survivors Group will meet Mondays from 6:30-8PM on December 7th, January 4th, and February 1st. Our Supporters Group will meet Wednesdays from 6:30-8PM on December 9th, January 6th, and February 3rd.

Please fill out the inquiry form linked below to sign up; each participant will need to meet virtually with the group facilitators for a brief, 15-minute screening. If you have any questions or concerns, please email admin@hopeworksvt.org.

This program is supported in part by the Vermont Humanities, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, www.vermonthumanities.org.
