Groups
Men’s Support & Community Group
What does it mean to navigate life as a man today? This small, in-person group offers a space for men to connect, reflect, and learn from one another through shared experiences. Conversations may explore fatherhood, romantic relationships, emotional expression, separation and divorce, co-parenting, performance and competition, identity, and finding direction in life. Limited to six members, the group is designed to foster genuine community, honest conversation, and meaningful reflection. Express interest and Rich will reach out to schedule a brief phone consultation to answer questions, discuss your goals, and determine whether the group might be a good fit.
