🧡 You don’t have to heal alone.
Starting Thursday, October 15th, YWCA Greater Lafayette will start up our Healing Forward Sexual Trauma Support Group again, creating a supportive space for survivors to connect, heal, and move forward together.
This group will meet every Thursday from 4–5 PM at the YWCA Greater Lafayette Advocacy Center, located at 624 N. 6th St., Lafayette, IN 47901.
The group will run for approximately 10 weeks and will follow Healing Sexual Trauma Workbook: A Survivor’s Guide to Recovery, Empowerment and Self-Care – CPTSD/PTSD by Paula Ocampo. The workbook’s 11 units will be incorporated throughout the 10-week experience, guiding participants through a supportive progression that begins with understanding trauma and how the nervous system responds, then focuses on building personal resiliency and developing a self-care plan.
Together, participants will explore grounding techniques, building supportive connections, positive self-talk and affirmations, setting healthy boundaries, recognizing and navigating triggers, and coping with challenges such as flashbacks and nightmares. The group will also create space for reconnecting with the body, finding healthy ways to express yourself, and building resilience for the future.
You can join the group at any time during the 10-week session. You do not have to wait for a new session to begin to find support.
At YWCA Greater Lafayette, we believe in eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. We also believe that survivors deserve support, understanding, and a safe space to heal, at their own pace and in their own way.
Additional group locations and options, including Frankfort, Monticello, and/or virtual sessions, may be available in the coming months.

You are not alone. Your healing matters. 🧡
