Support Groups

MSU Safe Place is currently in the process of planning summer support groups for survivors of relationship violence. Come back soon to register.  We welcome anyone who has experienced abuse in a current or past intimate relationship, or been exposed to relationship violence between adults or caregivers as a child. Participation in all of our programs, including attending our support groups, is available for free.

Following Safe Place's client-centered approach, participants help determine themes and activities offered during support group sessions. Space for feedback is given after each group as a way to best meet the needs of our support group participants.

Listed below are some of the themes & activities Safe Place has facilitated in the past:

  • Meditation skills
  • Boundary setting
  • Self-care tools
  • Vision boarding
  • Trauma and the impact on the brain
  • Mindfulness
  • Psycho-education on relationship violence and tactics used by abusers
  • Breathing exercises
  • Processing grief
  • Ways to improve self-esteem
  • Facts and myths about intimate partner violence

In order to attend, those interested must register for a brief screening to determine if our support group is the best fit for your needs. Registration is required to attend group for the safety of all participants. Please click "register here" when available.
