The goal of the program is to build community and support successful life change in a safe space. But, what does that look like?
Here’s what you can expect:
- You’ll be part of a small group of six to 10 people—choose to participate in a co-ed or gender-specific group.
- Your small group will be a safe, supportive, caring and confidential environment.
- Your group will meet once a week for 90 minutes for eight consecutive weeks.
- During meetings, your group will talk and voluntarily share with the guidance of trained facilitators.
- In addition to meetings, you’ll be reading a book—which is included with your registration. See a sample chapter.
And here are some things that intentionally won’t be part of your experience:
- You won’t be forced to share if you aren’t comfortable doing so.
- You won’t receive advice, therapy or crisis intervention from group facilitators.
