SUMMARY:The Unfiltered Hour _ Virtual
DESCRIPTION:The Unfiltered Hour\nA supportive virtual space for caregivers to share what’s really going on: honestly\, openly\, and without pressure to stay positive or have it all figured out. This guided hour offers a place to let out what’s been weighing on you\, be witnessed by others who understand\, and release the emotional load you’ve been carrying. \nThere’s no fixing\, no advice unless requested\, and no expectation to find a silver lining. Just real talk\, gentle facilitation\, and connection in community. \nThis is not a therapy or crisis-intervention space\, but a peer-supported gathering rooted in compassion\, boundaries\, and shared understanding. \nA soft landing for the hard stuff. \nOffered as a monthly virtual event – 2nd Friday 12:00pm-1:00pm \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:The Unfiltered Hour _ Virtual
DESCRIPTION:The Unfiltered Hour\nA supportive virtual space for caregivers to share what’s really going on: honestly\, openly\, and without pressure to stay positive or have it all figured out. This guided hour offers a place to let out what’s been weighing on you\, be witnessed by others who understand\, and release the emotional load you’ve been carrying. \nThere’s no fixing\, no advice unless requested\, and no expectation to find a silver lining. Just real talk\, gentle facilitation\, and connection in community. \nThis is not a therapy or crisis-intervention space\, but a peer-supported gathering rooted in compassion\, boundaries\, and shared understanding. \nA soft landing for the hard stuff. \nOffered as a monthly virtual event – 2nd Friday 12:00pm-1:00pm \nRegister Here
