Finding Strength Together: MeToo Support Group at CWRU Halloween
The Halloween season is often associated with costumes, candy, and spooky fun. But for many, it can also be a time of reflection and vulnerability. Recognizing this, a MeToo support group is being organized at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) for those seeking a safe space to process and discuss their experiences.
A Safe Space for Sharing
The MeToo movement has brought to light the prevalence of sexual harassment and assault, reminding us that these issues are not isolated incidents. They affect people from all walks of life, and CWRU is committed to providing resources and support to its community.
This support group offers a confidential space for individuals to share their experiences, connect with others who understand, and access valuable resources. It's a place where:
- Stories can be shared without judgment. The group fosters an environment where individuals feel safe to share their experiences, regardless of their nature or severity.
- Support and validation are offered. Knowing you're not alone in your experience is a powerful form of healing.
- Resources and strategies for healing are shared. The group will connect individuals with campus and community resources that can provide support, guidance, and access to necessary services.
Why CWRU? Why Halloween?
The choice of CWRU as a location for this support group is a reflection of the university's commitment to creating a safe and inclusive environment for all students, faculty, and staff. The timing around Halloween is significant as well. It provides an opportunity for individuals to confront potentially unsettling emotions and connect with others seeking similar support.
Getting Involved
The MeToo support group will be facilitated by trained professionals who understand the complexities of sexual harassment and assault. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in open dialogue, share their experiences, and learn about available resources.
**For those interested in attending, further information about the location, dates, and times can be found by contacting the CWRU Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) department.

Remember, you are not alone. There is help available, and you have the right to feel safe and supported.
