Monthly group recap

What we talked about together
Latest recap

Wings & Connection

Staying connected when life revolves around crisis.

When so much of life centers on a child's mental health, friendships change and it's easy to feel alone. This session gave us space to notice who supports us, what we need, and one small step back toward connection.

You do not have to have the right words to be here.

What we did

1

Where I am right now. We arrived with one word for how we were feeling and reflected on what has been taking most of our energy — focusing on our own experience, not our child's story.

2

Safe people. We mapped who helps us feel heard: people who listen, respect our privacy and follow through. An empty circle is okay.

3

Maybe people. We thought about people whose support is limited or depends on the situation — what feels okay to ask for, and what to keep private.

4

My boundaries. We practiced limits that protect our time, energy and our child's information.

5

One small step. Each of us chose one small action for the week — send a text, ask for a meal, or plan a short walk.

Words you can borrow
  • “I do not need advice right now. Could you just listen?”
  • “We are keeping those details private.”
  • “I may be slow to reply, but I still want to stay connected.”
  • “I cannot make a big plan, but a short walk would feel good.”
Coming soon: upcoming group topics. Past recaps will be added here each month. Missed a gathering? Ask in the private group for that month's reflection pages.
