SOUTH PARIS — Beginning in November, REACH, the sexual assault center serving Oxford county, Harrison and Bridgton, will begin a support group for women who have experienced sexual assault – whether as children or adults, recently or in the past.

The group will meet weekly at the REACH office in South Paris, near Market Square, for 20 weeks. The dates and time of the meetings will be based on the availability of participants.

The group will use the book “The Courage to Heal,” by Laura Davis, as a basis for discussions.

Many survivors of sexual assault who have participated in REACH support groups note that it was a significant positive step toward taking their life back and moving towards healing.

If interested in becoming part of the new women’s support group, contact the REACH office at 743-9777.
