Winter Survivor Workshop Series: Nov.–Dec. 2023

If you’re a survivor of sexual violence interested in learning about how group counseling can help, this free series is perfect for you. 

While the holiday season can bring lots of joy, it can also bring stress and anxiety. Adult survivors of all genders, ages 18 or older, are invited to join an in-person workshop series at BARCC’s offices this season. These workshops allow attendees to gather information from BARCC clinicians and learn more about future group counseling opportunities. 

This is a great way to see how counseling can help you manage your emotions and stress without any long-term commitment. Sessions are anonymous and free. You are welcome to attend all of the sessions or just one! 

There's more information on when and where the workshops will be held below. If you have additional questions about the sessions and what to expect, please reach out to Danielle, the clinician running the workshop, at 617-649-1284.
