SASS - Sexual Assault Survivor Support

"We believe that sharing our stories is the first step towards healing."

SASS, Sexual Assault Survivor Support, is a program for young women who have experienced sexual assault.

The purpose of SASS is to provide a safe space for conversation, reflection and support through a group connection of young women sharing a similar experience. SASS is not a professional therapy group but provides survivors with the support they need to feel less isolated and afraid while helping them to become stronger.

Who: SASS is for young women, ages 13-26.
When: Thursday evenings, 7:30-9:00pm
Where: HiTOPS, 21 Wiggins St., Princeton, NJ 08540
Cost: FREE

SASS is facilitated by Elizabeth Walters, CNM, MS. She has been providing clinical

care and sexuality education at HiTOPS since it opened and completed the NJ Sexual

Assault Volunteer Training Program in 1999. Her role is to lead activities and

discussion and provide resources and referral to other professionals.

Health services are also available at HiTOPS. Young women who have experienced sexual assault are at risk for pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease. Our clinicians are available to provide compassionate counseling, medical examination and testing during this difficult time.
