If you’re a UCSB student navigating healing after sexual assault, stalking, or domestic/dating violence, know that you are not alone. This space is for you 💛

We’re offering a free, confidential weekly program designed to help you build coping tools you can actually use in your day-to-day life.

No pressure to share anything about your past experiences.

Just a supportive, judgment-free space, guided by trauma-informed facilitators and surrounded by other students who understand.

Explore low-barrier, effective practices like yoga, art, and movement.

Open to undergraduate and graduate students.

Express your interest by April 12 to join this spring:

Let's take a moment to remember that taking care of ourselves doesn't just benefit us—it creates a ripple effect that elevates everyone around us. When we focus on our well-being, we're better able to uplift our loved ones and our larger community. Let's keep spreading those positive vibes and thrive together! 🌊💙

A moment of reflection for anyone who needs it today...
Looking through this window reminds me that healing, like nature, has its own rhythm. Some days we're standing on the mountaintop, other days we're just trying to keep our heads above water - and both are perfectly okay.

To those feeling overwhelmed: you're not alone.
To those taking a step back: you're being brave.
To those setting boundaries: you're doing the right thing.

What helps you find calm during overwhelming moments? Let's support each other in the comments below. 🤍
