Not Your Average Therapy Group...
BTSAG offers holistic options to support sexual assault survivors in the space where they are at. We understand that support is fluid and looks different for each and every person. We look for options to offer something different. We think outside of the box and put forth programming that supports our key groups of clientele.

Celebration
It is essential for sexual assault survivors to feel heard and supported. Through our signature event of SASS Fest, we showcase our survivors in a setting that allows them to communicate their truths. Yearly, we also deliver our "Breaking the Silence" Empowerment Photo/Storybook where our survivors put forth a printed work sharing their stories of triumph.
