Frequently Asked Questions
How do mutual aid groups differ from traditional therapy?
Mutual aid groups are peer-led, meaning that participants support each other rather than receiving support from a therapist. It’s a communal approach to healing that emphasizes shared experiences and collective strength.
How many people are in a group?
Our mutual aid support groups are typically small (around 6-12 people) to ensure everyone has the opportunity to share and participate.
Do I need to be part of a specific community to join a support group?
No, our groups are open to all individuals, regardless of background or experience. We create spaces where all can feel supported and understood.
