SOSA is a 10-week, closed-process support group focused on understanding the impact of sexual assault. We will provide coping tools, support, and a safe venue for processing the client’s healing journey. 

Some topics may include:  

Myths of sexual assault, effects of sexual assault, physical, emotional, and cognitive coping, relationships, healing, change, legacy, self-compassion, forgiveness, and hope.

Members of this group will have experienced sexual trauma, but will not be asked to disclose details. Members will however be asked to talk about their healing journey, process emotional reactions, reveal the effects of the assault, as well as discuss coping strategies and obstacles to change.

Members will be asked to participate in activities, learn coping skills, and practice coping or homework activities outside the group. This may include creative activities, writing statements describing the effects of their trauma, cognitive behavioral exercises, mindfulness exercises, and journaling.

Please call 940-565-2741 or email CounselingandTestingServices@unt.edu to schedule a prescreen.
