abstract="Sexual violence/abuse (SV/A) is increasingly recognized requiring improved, evidence-based treatments. Delivery of group-based support in survivor services is common but often lacks evaluation. This qualitative study explored how survivors experienced groups and wanted recovery measured. Semistructured interviews with survivors of SV/A from two groups (N = 13, female: 25-64 years: mainly White British, heterosexual) were analyzed using an inductive approach to thematic analysis. Three overarching themes were identified including &quot;anger,&quot; recovery &quot;in the company of&quot; others and &quot;different destinations.&quot; The work contributes recognition of the need for evaluation with meaning to survivors and the potential for anger to be used in group activism.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
