Q. What is the difference between Securing Hope versus other groups?
Other similar support groups offered in the community (i.e. community centers, churches, MeetUp, etc) are not facilitated by a trained and licensed mental health professional. Joseph is a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist specialized in working with separation/divorce challenges. These groups are structured and designed with a clinical foundation coming from years of experience working with this population.
Q. Is attendance mandatory to all of the groups?
Securing Hope is not restricted by attendance requirements although we would encourage you to attend as much as possible! We have found that people that come infrequently do not get the full benefits Securing Hope offers. The more consistency in attendance, the greater the:
- Connection with others in the group
- Sense of safety and security being vulnerable
- Amount of information that can be received
- Sense of community and understanding that you are not alone
