At BARCC, our free support groups provide survivors with a safe and empowering space to connect, heal, and find strength together. These groups are more than just meetings—they are a vital source of community, understanding, and hope.

Each session is thoughtfully designed to foster connection and healing. Participants often praise the supportive environment created by our skilled and highly trained facilitators.

Your donation to BARCC makes free, confidential support groups and 24-hour crisis services like our hotline and web chat possible. Please consider giving before 2024 ends to help us reach our $20,000 goal and provide these vital resources for survivors in Boston, Massachusetts, and beyond.

Want to know about the impact of BARCC support groups? Hear it from the participants themselves. The following testimonials are from actual BARCC support group participants in 2024. They are anonymous to protect confidentiality:

“Loved it, great group of people, awesome facilitators. I would recommend this to all survivors of sexual assault. It’s so empowering to be a part of the group, being surrounded by such strong and inspiring people.”

“I cannot say how wonderful this group was, and the group discussions [with the clinicians] made me feel so comfortable. I have never attended a group before, and I don’t know how another group or class will live up to this. The structure and grounding of the group was amazing.”

“Everything was just what it needed to be. Thank you for everything.”

By donating to BARCC, you help create spaces where survivors can heal and thrive. Will you join us in making this work possible?

Donate to BARCC before 2024 ends to protect critical programs and to show survivors they’re not alone.
