"A particularly successful method of working with survivors of sexual assault and trauma is by bringing survivors together in groups. Groups are an effective tool in providing support, validation, connection, healing, empathy, and giving hope. At the core of all sexual assault is disempowerment and disconnection. To assist in recovery, empowerment and connection is key. It is amazing to witness the transformation that many survivors make because of these groups.because they realize they arent alone, because they realize that people care, because they learn that it wasnt their fault, and yes, because through connection and validation there is hope. Often times the relationships and sense of connection that members develop between each other may be some of the most positive and supportive relationships in their lives. Because these groups can have such a profound impact on survivors of sexual assault, it is therefore vital that as advocates we possess both the skills and knowledge to effectively facilitate groups. Hence, the purpose of this manual; to provide a roadmap of sorts, to navigate through the world of psychoeducational support groups.

It is important to note that this manual is considered a basic guide and has been written with beginner facilitators in mind and offers the reader some practical guidance and recommendations for both the facilitation and design of psychoeducational support groups. Much of the information presented here has been gathered from existing research and literature as it pertains to groups, from the OCVA support group standards, as well as from the experiences of those who assisted with the writing of this manual. It is recognized that those who have been doing this work for a while bring their own expertise and we therefore encourage you to pair your own wisdom and experience with the information presented here."

This issue of "Partners in Social Change" examines what it looks like to engage men in sexual violence prevention. Much of the work we do focuses on how communities can prevent sexual violence; therefore this issue seeks to examine men as a community that has the potential to help create social change.

Included in this issue is an article is written by a man in the movement who wishes to examine how socially constructed male privilege has shaped his own experiences and also examines how other men can be a part of this movement with sincerity, and two articles examining groups of men that are sometimes excluded from messaging: queer men and "Average Joe". Finally, we learn from a sexual assault program in Washington about the process of engaging men in their community.

Sexual assault services are vital, and it is important that they continue even in the face of an emergency. Indeed, an increased rate of sexual assault is an often unrecognized consequence of a disaster, as the repercussions of the earthquake in Haiti have demonstrated. The dilemma for most sexual assault program managers is that they are so busy managing the day-to-day activities of their programs that emergency planning is often on the back burner. The goal of this publication is to provide information and resources to make emergency preparedness and recovery planning more attainable.” (…)

This publication also includes some practical tools: a disaster recovery guide from TechSoup that will help you to safeguard data, a fact sheet on emergency planning for businesses, accreditation information related to this topic, and specific tips on disaster resilience for sexual assault programs.”
