The details
What's true at UCSB.

- When
- Weeknight evenings, one session a week for seven weeks, each academic quarter.
- Where
- Within walking distance of campus. The exact location is shared privately with registered participants — it is never posted publicly, and that's deliberate.

- What you need to disclose
- Nothing. No disclosure of past trauma is needed to join.
