Support groups
Groupwork for survivors of sexual assault
Support groups provide an opportunity for people who have experienced sexual assault to break down isolation and validate and normalise their experiences. We facilitate groups for men, women, and young people.
If you are interested in being involved in any of our groups please speak with your CASA counsellor or contact the intake worker on 53203933
We encourage anyone who has been affected by sexual assault to talk someone, whether it is a trusted family member or friend, or us at Ballarat CASA.

Counselling at Ballarat CASA
Sexual assault trauma can have significant impacts on people. CASA counsellors work from a trauma informed perspective, understanding the ongoing impacts of sexual assault. Counselling aims to assist people to understand these impacts, develop healthier coping strategies and emotional regulation.
Sessions are generally 60 minutes, and your CASA counsellor will work with you to identify your goals.
Advocacy and Case Management
The CASA case manager meets with clients to assess ways that CASA can provide support, including assistance with Centrelink, housing, medical, dental needs, and other supports identified.
CASA counsellors will also provide advocacy for their clients as required.
