NEW! Live Online Video Support Group for Partners
The Sisterhood Of Support Forums will now include Weekly Live Zoom Support Meetings. These are free for all Forum subscription members.
Probably one of the most frequent requests that I get from partners is, ‘Where can I find a local or online live support group?’
