UU Family Members of Adult Children Who Are Struggling

We are an established group of family members of adult children who have serious mental health diagnoses and/or are struggling to cope with everyday life. We meet once a month to give space to those in crisis, and if there's time, we address a topic that concerns us, such as "Siblings", "How to answer the questions and comments of others about our loved ones", "Difficult decisions we must make to preserve our own health and wellbeing". We create a safe environment to speak openly, but there is no obligation to speak. We laugh, we cry, we support each other, but don't try to fix, and we always review our rule of 100% confidentiality. There is also no obligation to come every month, but regular attendance creates more safety and trust in the group to explore difficult, even painful topics.
