In-person support group for female trauma survivors (Lombard, IL)

Are you a woman who is a trauma survivor and looking for a safe place to talk with a community of women who have been there too? Well, you have found the right group! In this group we talk about our struggles or issues and help each other through it with support and empathy.

This group is hosted by the nonprofit organization &Rise. Please note: if you aren't ready for in-person support groups yet, &Rise offers free virtual weekly support groups (every Wednesday and Thursday) via zoom that are 100% private, 100% confidential, and 100% supportive!

Please note, this is not a therapy group but a community of female survivors supporting and talking with one another about their experiences and healing. Many of the women who attend are sexual and domestic abuse survivors including emotional and narcissistic abuse.

We have an amazing group of ladies that are kind and know what you are going through. You do not have to suffer alone or suffer in silence, we are here for you! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

Please be aware that if you are a student or need to do any sort of observations that require a letter or signature, you must let the support group facilitator aware and you must give the facilitator at least 1 week to complete it. We do not guarantee letters or signatures in less than 7 days. Please also note that we charge $10 for attending our groups as a student and for the administrative cost for paperwork and occupancy in our groups. If you do not pay through our portal, we are not obligated to release you your documents. Click here to pay: https://www.womenrisechicago.org/donate

Please note that this group is for women only. Any men attempting to join our groups will not be allowed in. Please be advised that we have a zero-tolerance policy for any disrespectful language and behavior and the facilitator has the right to ask you to leave and ban you from re-entering our groups.
