Writing to Heal Support Group for Survivors of Sexual Violence

​​Alachua County Victim Services & Rape Crisis Center is offering a 10-week, in-person writing-based support group. This group is open to women and nonbinary survivors of sexual violence. 

The “Writing to Heal” support group is scheduled to begin in late February 2026 and will meet in person on Wednesday afternoons from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. The group is free of charge, all skill levels are welcome, and all necessary supplies will be provided. 

“Writing is a healing process, and we encourage participants to write in whatever form they find most healing, whether that be journaling, song writing, poetry, or anything beyond,” said Victim Advocate Counselor Kylee Field. "Prompts will be provided each week to allow survivors the opportunity to explore their journey of healing in a way that feels safe and authentic to them.” 

Meeting location will be disclosed to participants. To participate, call or text Kylee Field at 352-681-2428 and complete an intake.
