Scenario

When survivor support groups outgrow their original purpose

Our support group has been meeting for three years and some of us are ready to move beyond just talking about what happened to us and start doing advocacy work, but others feel like that's not what they signed up for and they still need the safe space. We're splitting into camps and I don't know how to honor both needs without losing people.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A community is fracturing over whether to expand beyond mutual support into external action, revealing different stages of healing and readiness.
