Reflect, feel validated and connect with others who understand what you’re going through.
Our Trauma Support Groups are here to help you on your journey to healing from complex trauma. Over eight sessions, held fortnightly, our friendly therapists will guide the group through discussions on common themes faced by those healing from complex trauma, sexual violence, gender-based violence and childhood developmental trauma.
In a safe and caring environment, you’ll have the chance to reflect, feel validated and connect with others who understand what you’re going through.
This group enables participants to connect with others who have similar histories, while making sense of their own experiences.
TSG Participants are required to be aged 18 or older and engaged in individual therapy.
The group is aimed at complex / sexual and gender-based violence / childhood / developmental trauma, as opposed to single-event trauma. The topics are often based around the timeline from child-adult and the family system as well as how you cope now day-to-day as a result of your trauma.
It provides members with a safe community, to share their coping strategies, experiences of navigating through life, and to find support in things they’re struggling with.
It is run by clinicians who guide the group with regards to the topic for that week, as well as through the discussion points.

This group is for you if you are:
Our Trauma Support Group focuses on how you cope day-to-day as a result of trauma, rather than talking about specific traumatic events. That’s why it’s important for all members to be seeing a therapist individually while they are enrolled as a member of the group.
The group offers a safe place to share coping strategies, talk about day-to-day experiences, and find support in a community of people with shared struggles, reminding everyone that they are not alone.
We’re here to support you on your healing journey.
