finding community & connection in
groups
Support groups can be a therapeutic way to enhance individual counseling or a way separately to build connections and learn from other people who share similar experiences, stories, grief, or are in similar stages of life.
Hope Counseling & Family Therapy runs a variety of support groups based on community need. Currently I am hosting an Empty Nest Support Group and a Bereavement Support Group for anyone (all religions/genders/ages/backgrounds) who is grieving the death of a loved one.
​
As a caring, dedicated, involved member of this community, HCFT often chooses support groups to run based on needs in the community, so please reach out directly if there is a group that you would like to see. Other groups include:
​​
Parenting Teenagers
Divorce/Separation
Loneliness & Community Connection Across Generations
Supporting New Parents
LBTQ+ Families
Caring for Elders
Happily Single & Childless (40+)
Adults from Dysfunctional Families
​
Empty Nest support group
Members can relate to the experiences, feelings, worries, challenges, anxiety, joy and relationship changes that often occur during this time of life.
​
Over the course of 6 weeks, we will explore:
​
Identity - Who am I now, Who do I want to be now?
​
Transitions/Rituals - launching a new life chapter
​
Relationships - friendships, romantic
​
Self-Care & tools for mindfulness, grounding
​
Exploring Grief and Possibility
​
Staying Connected to Children, New rules
​
We will explore these and/or other topics based on what feels most relevant and important to the group each week.
​
Currently there is a waitlist for the next group. Please reach out to be added to that list.
