What are Peer Groups?
Peer Groups are informal discussion groups composed of 8-12 Women's Connection members who meet monthly. These groups create a small, safe, supportive space within the larger Women's Connection community. Women have thought-provoking and stimulating conversations relating to topics of interest to them at this transitional time of life.
Discussion topics range from those that are light-hearted and fun to others that help members define and think through their futures. Each group works to find a comfortable way to select topics and share the responsibilities to make their group run smoothly. Every group has an experienced Women's Connection Partner as well as resource documents to help them during the initial meetings or at any point where they feel they want re-direction or support.
Peer Groups offer members opportunities for connection, new friendships, and mutually supportive exploration. The intention of Peer Groups is for women to share and learn from each other. While the groups create a supportive environment, they are neither support groups nor therapy groups. If a Women's Connection member is confronting a personal crisis, professional assistance may be needed.
Peer Groups are a benefit of Women's Connection membership. Over half of our 400+ members belong to a Peer Group.
