Campus Groups

A DartHeart Campus Group is comprised of students who are survivors of different types of trauma such as sexual assault, domestic abuse, and war, but who all currently attend the same college or university. We believe that peer support is a necessary tool for coping with the aftermath of a traumatic event and that together student survivors can offer each other mutually beneficial support. Survivors of a specific type of trauma are able to meet in pairs or smaller support groups through our HOPE Mentorship Program. For community mentorship events and general DartHeart activities, all survivors in a Campus Group unite to extend the network of students coping with post traumatic stress.

We believe that branching out from traditional support group models lends itself to better recovery for survivors. We offer alternative meetings such as getting together for coffee or lunch, hiking, and going to the gym or movies because these types of activities with the company of other survivors have proven very effective in the recovery process to regain a sense of normalcy and to maintain health and well-being.

Confidentiality is of the utmost importance. Disclosure of the location and time of meetings will be on an individual basis to protect the privacy of group members. Please see our privacy page for more information.

¿Como funciona nuestro sistema estudiantil?

A través de que estudiantes participan en un grupo universitario en nuestra red, ellos pueden ajustar ciertos detalles de su grupo a la cultura social de su universidad. Nosotros realizamos que cada comunidad universitaria tiene su propia cultura y recursos, por eso estamos abiertos a personalizar los grupos de nuestra red para que sus miembros puedan recibir los máximos beneficios.

Si un estudiante o un alumno quiere expandir nuestra red a otra parte, el sobreviviente tiene que tener los requisitos para ser director de un grupo universitario y después conseguir apoyo para empezar un nuevo grupo.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Group meetings are facilitated by medical professionals in an unobtrusive manner. This means that while survivors meet one on one or as a group without medical supervision, group members can easily contact a trusted medical professional in case of an emergency or for any other reason the survivors deem necessary. We also encourage students to seek private therapy in addition to participating in campus support group meetings.
