The Art of Healing
The Art of Healing is an art-based support group for survivors of sexual violence. Participants of this support group will explore ways of healing through artistic expression and connection. In this group, survivors are offered the space to share their personal healing experiences and to participate in healing art projects. Our projects focus on coping with trauma, fostering healing, and prioritizing self-care.
The group is offered in five weekly sessions with closed membership. Our next series will be hosted in-person, every Wednesday of October from 4:30PM to 6:00PM. 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 September 24th, 5PM.
This project is supported in part by the Vermont Arts Council, which receives support in part from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency, alongside our community donors.
The Healing Journey
The Healing Journey is a talk-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. 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. Please contact admin@hopeworksvt.org for more information.
