Webinars and support groups: what’s the difference?

The webinars and the groups explore many of the same themes. What changes is how you take part.

The webinars

Learn

Key findings from Dr. Smith’s research on how mothers are affected by their adult children’s struggles
Ideas that can help you make sense of your own experience
Hear the questions other mothers are asking, and send in your own

The support groups

Connect

A small, confidential group of no more than 10 mothers, meeting for 10 weeks
Bring themes like guilt, mother-blame and chronic sorrow into your own life, and talk about them together
Share your own mothering story with women who have lived something similar

“For most participants, the feeling of being understood and able to tell your story to others who truly get it is unique and potentially transformative.”Dr. Judith R. Smith

Mothers’ groups begin January 12 (daytime) and February 1 (evening). Each begins with a one-on-one consultation.
