Peer Support Groups
Our Peer Support Groups reduce the isolation of victimization by connecting young survivors with other young survivors who can share and support each other.
Each one hour group follows a trauma-informed, psycho-educational model, providing education on teen informed topics such as safety, self-care, coping, boundaries and self-esteem.
Peer Support Groups are available online and in person at BLOOM365 school and community-based sites across Arizona.
If you have questions or would like more information on our support groups, please EMAIL, CALL or TEXT 1-888-606-4673.
All participants will need to complete an intake with a BLOOM365 advocate prior to their first session.
All advocacy services are supervised by LCSW and LPC Clinical Supervisors.
BLOOM365's free and confidential advocacy services address and respond to victimization and trauma from crimes including teen dating abuse, domestic violence, sexual violence, community violence, sex trafficking, stalking, gender-based violence and bullying.
Our therapeutic advocacy and intervention services help to reduce depression, traumatic stress, fear, anxiety, problems adjusting to school or daily life, and other symptoms of distress associated with witnessing or experiencing violence.
