How to Report Abuse

Virtual Victim/Survivor Support Group

For those who have experienced sexual abuse by clergy or others as a child or vulnerable adult

This is an independent, volunteer-based peer support group (not a therapy group) facilitated by Angie Boggs and is open to anyone who participates in a faith community and anyone who does not.

Angie is a Catholic laywoman and circle keeper. She is a bioethicist and board-certified chaplain experienced in addressing secondary traumatic distress and moral distress in a large health system. Angie is a participant in the STAR (strategies for trauma awareness and resilience) program at Eastern Mennonite University and a participant in a survivor support group sponsored by the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis. Angie is a member of the St. John Neumann parish ACTION group committed to advocacy and reform.

If you are interested in participating, please email 2020victimssurvivors@gmail.com.

All emails and group participation and discussions are held in confidence.
