PEER SUPPORT GROUPS FOR SURVIVORS OF PARTNER RAPE
In Raquel Bergen's study, survivors of partner rape indicated that what they most wanted were support groups specifically to speak about their issues with others who have shared their experiences.. Generic rape survivor or domestic violence support groups, unless they make room for IPSV, are often not appropriate Wife Rape: Understanding the Response of Survivors and Service Providers, Sage Publications, California, 1996). I am not currently aware of any such offline support groups right now (and I've asked around), though I am aware that one is currently being authored in the USA. It's also my intention to create a support group module in the future, so watch this space. If you do know of any services that run current groups or offer facilitator training, please email me - I would love to include them here, and also direct survivors to services that offer support.

Online peer-support is available for survivors of IPSV. I am a moderator of Pandora's Aquarium, and we are proud to have assisted many partner rape survivors in finding support and validation - indeed, it has comprised very fine support for me too. While it isn't intended to replace therapy or crisis care, we do know that peer-support is an important part of the healing process. If you would like to read about what we offer survivors, who we are, a discussion of problems with online groups and how we manage them etc. please feel free to read our article for professionals. I hope you will consider referring clients who need peer-support to us
