Survivors' Chat Group Offered on Campus
STAR Central will hold a weekly Survivors’ Chat Group for students who have experienced sexual assault or intimate-partner violence.
After a sexual assault, it is not uncommon to feel alone and that no one could possibly understand. However, sexual violence is more common than people realize. Sometimes talking with others who have had similar experiences and feelings can be very helpful.
The Survivors' Chat Group provides a psycho-educational approach through peer-based support and facilitated group discussion with a professional advocate. The group is not a therapy group. All participants agree to and sign a confidentiality statement.
The group meets on Tuesdays at 3 p.m. for the remainder of the semester. There is no charge for participating with this group. Currently, the group is limited to women. However, if men are in need of help, they should contact STAR Central about potential options.
For more information about joining the group and details of the group location, please contact STAR Central at survivor@uark.edu. For a general list of on and off campus resources, please visit respect.uark.edu/resources.
STAR Central is the Office of Support, Training, Advocacy & Resources on Sexual Assault and Relationship Violence coordinated through the Wellness and Health Promotion Department. Located at the Pat Walker Health Center in office 277, STAR Central serves the University community through education programs, including the award-winning RESPECT program. STAR Central also offers professional consultations and confidential victim advocacy services. For more information, visit health.uark.edu/starcentral.
