Support Groups
Men’s Group
Held weekly on Mondays from 3:00-5:00pm (VIRTUAL)
The Men’s group meets weekly to discuss the impact mental health has on their lives. By connecting and interacting, the men in this group discover new and inspiring ways to navigate the obstacles preventing them from experiencing life to its fullest.

The women’s support group meets weekly and is open to clients of The Family Center as well as anyone who identifies as a woman in the community at large – all are welcome! This group will create an ongoing space for women to give and receive support from others in their community.
