Between the exhaustion, the worry, and the constant second-guessing, parenting can feel isolating — especially when it looks like everyone else has it figured out. A support group offers something individual counseling can't: the relief of hearing "me too" from other parents, and the encouragement of walking through it together.
This group is for parents of children and teens at any stage — whether you're navigating a hard season with a specific child, feeling worn down by the day-to-day, or simply wanting a steady place to grow as a parent. It is faith-friendly, judgment-free, and open to parents of any background.
"Parents give so much and are rarely given a place to be poured into themselves. That's what this group is for."
— Christine Respess, Counseling Intern
Real conversation with other parents who understand, without pretending to have it all together.
Everyday strategies for communication, boundaries, discipline, and staying calm in hard moments.
A place to process a child's struggles, a family transition, or your own stress as a parent.
For those who want it, a hopeful, grace-filled view of parenting rooted in faith — always optional, never pressured.
What's shared in the group stays in the group, so parents can be open.
Sessions run in rotating cycles, so if the timing doesn't work now, there will be another opportunity to join.
Send a quick email or give us a call to let us know you're interested. No commitment — you'll simply be the first to hear when dates are set.
Once the schedule, format, and location are finalized, we'll contact everyone on the list with everything you need to know.
