What CARDV support groups look like:

- Arts and crafts!
- Self-care tips and support
- Game and/or movie days
- “Check-in” that allows for open conversation about how everyone’s weeks are going

What CARDV support groups do NOT look like:
- Talking in depth about traumatic incidences
- Forced disclosure about abuse experienced
- Victim blaming and judgmental attitudes
- Therapy
