Support Groups

The WCJ offers a variety of support groups (virtual and in person) that are guided by a counselor or an advocate. These sessions are free and designed to help those struggling with related issues.

Groups help individuals come together to gain a deeper understanding about themselves as they connect with each other in a supportive environment.

Support groups may include: survivors (or co-survivors) of sexual assault; LGBTQ+ support; women in active treatment for breast cancer; and other areas around depression, anxiety, stress and building resiliency.

Please check back regularly as groups change and new ones are added.
