Peer Support Volunteer Program

Xavier’s Confidential Peer Support Volunteers are trained student leaders who provide trauma-informed support services for student survivors of power-based violence, including sexual assault, intimate partner violence, stalking, and sexual harassment. 

Confidential Peer-Facilitated Survivor Support Group 

The PSV confidential peer-facilitated survivor support group takes place every semester and is an all-genders support group. To join the group, contact Susan Pelle via text or phone at 513-904-9013 or email at pelles@xavier.edu. 

Our Mission

We believe, respect, and support survivors, whether they are seeking safety, healing, or justice. We recognize the uniqueness and wholeness of each person and we support all movements that empower marginalized groups knowing that this includes survivors as well. As a program, we endeavor to cultivate empathy and foster a culture of caring for one another.
