Support Groups

Our Support Groups

We offer several groups at various times and places throughout the year.

Except for our Parents-Family-Friends groups, our groups are available by application ONLY and are NOT available for drop-ins.

Age Requirement: At this time we do NOT have groups for minors. Everyone must be at least 18 years old to participate in any of our support groups. We do offer counseling/pastoral care for minors but only when accompanied by a parent.

Donations are solicited at all of our group meetings and are always gratefully appreciated. Your donations are IRS tax deductible.
