Support Groups

Support Groups provide education, mutual support, sharing and encouragement.

The Center's Support Groups are:

  • Free and confidential.
  • Led by two trained facilitators who have experience working with survivors of sexual violence.
  • Time limited, typically meeting once a week for eight to twelve weeks.
  • Closed to new members once they begin

The Orange County Rape Crisis Center does not offer therapy groups (Groups led by one or two licensed/certified therapist); however, the Center will gladly make referrals to therapy groups in the community.
