From learning together to being heard

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

The webinars

Learn

  • Key findings from my 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

The support groups

Connect

  • A small, confidential group of no more than 10 mothers, meeting weekly for 10 weeks
  • Bring themes like guilt, mother-blame and chronic sorrow into your own life, and talk about them together
  • Share your own 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 Tuesday, January 12 (daytime) and Monday, February 1 (evening). Each begins with a one-on-one consultation, and no one is turned away for inability to pay.
