Group Support
People need people. When you go through difficulty in life there are many things that draw your attention to help sooth the pain. We believe that coming together as a community to share in both the pain and the healing process is most effective. For this reason we offer two types of support groups…
Moms group.
After a horrific tragedy involving gang impacted youth in 2024 where we saw a young man lose his life and a mother lose her son, we wanted to give back to the community in some way. We decided to create a mom’s group for mothers who’ve been effected by their kids being impacted by gangs. This group meets bi-weekly and is open to any mom who is struggling in isolation, struggling with shame, and looking for support. Childcare, Dinner, Dessert, and Flowers are provided for each group at no cost to attendees. A Spanish / English translator is present at each group. Below is the mission statement created by the moms for the group:
“We are a community of mothers united by the love for our children and the challenges we face. In our space, we embrace each other with open arms, creating a sanctuary where vulnerability is met with compassion. Here, we find safety to share our deepest wounds, to seek the help we need, and to heal together. We honor the different stages of our journeys, understanding that while we may be in different places, we move forward as one. With empathy and acceptance, we build a space where every mother feels valued, supported, and ready to embrace hope and healing.”
Dads group.
After working with youth in the juvenile justice system and in the community for close to two decades, one thing has became crystal clear - there is a need for positive engaged fathers in our community. Too many young people are growing up in households devoid of a father as a positive role model. For this reason we started a father’s group. The goal of this group is connecting young, soon to be fathers, with older seasoned fathers. Fathers who are married to the mother of their kids. Fathers who are committed and present to their kids. Fathers who have a history of being there not only for their own kids, but kids in the community as well. This group meets bi-weekly. Dinner and Childcare are provided for free.
For more information about either group or if you want to attend one of the groups, fill out the form below and we’ll be in contact.
