SUMMARY:What is Sexual Violence? An Educational Workshop
DESCRIPTION:What Is Sexual Violence? A Free Educational Workshop for Survivors\nThis two-session workshop is a space for survivors to learn\, ask questions\, and connect with others who understand. Together\, we explore what sexual violence is\, how it affects us\, and what healing can look like. \nThis is an educational group\, not a processing group. You won’t be asked to share your personal story — just come ready to learn in a collaborative\, supportive setting. Previous therapy is strongly recommended\, as this can be an emotional and challenging topic to explore. \nWorkshop details\n\nDates: Tuesday\, April 7 and Tuesday\, April 14\nTime: 5:00 – 6:45 pm\nLocation: YWCA Metro St. Louis\nCost: Free\n\nTopics covered\n\nCommon reactions to sexual violence — and why they make sense\nUnderstanding rape culture and how it shapes our experiences\nConsent — definitions\, boundaries\, and why it matters\nHow sexual violence can show up in all relationship types\nMoving forward — what life after sexual violence can look like\n\nHow to register Space is limited and prior registration is required. Contact Case Manager Ashleigh Burnett to find out if this group is right for you. \nEmail: Aburnett@ywcastlmo.org Phone: 314.531.1115 x 5314
