Workshops & Support Groups for Parents & Grandparents

For Moms and Dads, Grandmothers and Grandfathers alike, group sessions provide a safe and supportive space to connect with others navigating similar experiences. There is deep value in hearing one another’s stories — through sharing and listening, we offer hope, wisdom, and support during a time that can often feel hopeless, confusing, and lonely.

Workshops

Our workshops for estranged parents provide growth-enhancing support, education, and tools to help you better understand and navigate the complex and painful experience of estrangement.

  • Receive guidance on moving toward acceptance, forgiveness, and the possibility of reconciliation

  • Discuss the generational divides that often contribute to misunderstanding and separation
  • Address painful feelings of shame and guilt — and learn healthy ways to move beyond them

Support Groups

Our support groups are mutual self-help gatherings — not therapy sessions — and may be complemented by professional support as part of your broader healing journey. The primary goal is to help individuals navigate the pain and complexity of family estrangement.

What to expect:

  • Support from fellow parents and grandparents estranged from their adult children and/or grandchildren
  • Guided, open, and meaningful discussions centered around shared experiences of estrangement
  • A respectful, confidential space where every participant is valued
  • Emotional, psychological, and moral support from those who truly understand
  • Opportunities for deep self-reflection and personal growth
  • Compassion and empathy from others who have walked a similar path
  • Tools to foster a growth mindset amid the pain of separation
  • Encouragement to explore your experience through different perspectives
  • A safe space for honest self-expression
  • A sense of connection and community — a reminder that you are not alon
