The Archdiocese of Chicago’s Office of Assistance Ministry will be offering its winter session of therapy groups for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Each group will meet for 10 consecutive weeks beginning on Saturday, February 4, 2012.  Sessions will be conducted at a downtown Chicago location.

All of the group therapy sessions will be conducted by licensed professionals who have experience in working with victims of sexual abuse.  It does not matter who perpetrated the sexual abuse – family member, friend, stranger, or member of the clergy – as this program has been designed to help all of the victims.  There is no fee for the program.

If you or a family member would like to register or require additional information about  the therapy groups, please telephone Kathleen Leggdas at (312) 534-5268 or Matt Hunnicutt at (312) 534-8267 at the Archdiocese.  Since its inception in 1992, the Archdiocese’s Office of Assistance Ministry has had a mission is to provide pastoral care, support, and resources for the victims-survivors of childhood sexual abuse in an effort to achieve psychological, emotional, and spiritual healing.  Remember, you don’t have to go through this pain by yourself.  If you or someone you know would benefit from this type of therapy group, please consider attending to start the healing process.
