Support and Therapy Groups

Finding Healing Through Community

At The Compass Center, our Support and Therapy Groups provide a safe, confidential space where survivors can share their journey, learn valuable coping skills, and support one another. Our trauma-informed approach helps participants understand how their experiences impact various aspects of their lives while focusing on empowerment, healing, and community building.

Therapists are continuously assessing needed groups related to sexual assault and trauma in our community. Please contact The Compass Center for most updated list of groups being offered and start dates.
