Still have questions?
How frequently do the support groups meet?
Our groups meet twice a month so that you can get regular support, but also have time to squeeze it into your hectic schedule.
Do the groups meet in-person or online?
Many of our meetings are available online. You can also get even more support options via online group chats outside of the meetings. And, all of our groups have a chance to meet in-person too!
I’m scared of sharing with a group.
We know. Our clientele are all successful professionals. And, they all end up being glad that they came. You’re in control of what you share and when. If you just want to absorb information and listen to others for a while, that’s OK too. Our groups are resource-heavy, so that you will still get a lot out of each meeting.
How much do the groups cost?
Groups are our way to reach more people and help create community! Community is one of our core values and something we could use more of in the world. So, we offer many groups at low-cost or no-cost. Our new motherhood support group is even free for the first 3 sessions!
How do I sign-up?
Just complete the registration form! Our coordinator will reach out to personally answer any questions and to help you with the onboarding process.
