SUPPORT GROUPS

Groups provide a safe, supportive, and confidential place to connect with others, heal, and recover. At Steps, we have multiple peer-led support groups for survivors from all backgrounds and experiences.

Participants can talk through their own stories, learn from their community, hear others’ experiences, and support others in their healing journeys. If you’re deciding on your next step, a support group is a great place to start — see below for a list of our current offerings.
For more information, call our hotline at (802) 658-1996 or email support@stepsvt.org.
