About Us:
In-Power is a weekly student-led support group dedicated to building a gender-inclusive community that welcomes victim-survivors of sexual assault, stalking, and/or intimate partner violence at any point in their healing process. Through a focus on empowerment, autonomy, and resilience, the group aims to help participants claim agency over their own stories and experiences, as well as the direction of the group. We’ll be accomplishing this with a variety of discussion topics and self-care methods.
Meetings will likely consist of discussion surrounding these topics, an activity related to the topic, and time and ideas for self-care practices. However, this group is open to change depending on the needs of its members and we anticipate things will shift slightly based on group dynamics and feedback.
In-Power is open to any UConn student regardless of gender identity. We are run out of the Women’s Center and in no way does this mean that you must identify as a woman in order to be in the space. This semester In-Power will be held virtually on Tuesdays from 5PM-7PM EST via Webex starting 9/15/2020. If you are interested in joining the group, please reach out to facilitators Isabel and Lindsay at: in-power@uconn.edu
