Why We Need Each Other More Than Ever

Community Matters, Especially Right Now

There’s a heaviness many of us are carrying these days.

Our theory? The chaos in the world, the pressure to keep everything together, or the quiet griefs we don’t always have words for.

And while each of our challenges may be unique, one thing remains true... we heal better together.

We’ve been taught to power through, to deal with things privately, to “be strong.” But strength doesn’t mean silence. And isolation only makes the weight harder to bear.

That’s where community comes in.

When we’re surrounded by people who understand when we can say me too and feel seen without having to explain everything, we soften. We breathe. We reconnect.

Whether it’s a group of parents who get how overwhelming it feels… a circle of women ready to reclaim themselves… a young adult finally feeling less alone… or someone grieving a visible or invisible loss, group work creates a container where real healing can begin.

There’s nothing weak about asking for support.

It’s one of the bravest things we can do and one of the most impactful.

This Fall, Find Your People

At The Lighthouse, we’ve created spaces that are warm, welcoming, and deeply intentional. Our Fall 2025 Groups offer a chance to be seen, held, and supported by others walking a similar path. All are virtual, run for 5 weeks total, and cost $250 (insurance might apply!).

Parent Support Group: Facilitated by Susan Gilbert, LMSW, MFA, Wednesdays, September 10 – October 8, 7:00 PM ET
Grief Support Group: Facilitated by Mary Mano, LMSW, C.G.C.S., Thursdays at 6 pm ET, Starting September 11
Young Adult Support Group: Facilitated by Amanda Yannarelli, LMSW, CASAC, Mondays at 6:00 PM ET, Starting September 15

And, this group runs for 8 weeks and focuses on women who want to understand their negative beliefs, their gift, and want they want next out of their life, at whatever stage they might be in.

TIME: Facilitated by Cathy Anesi, Tuesdays at either 1 or 6 PM ET, Starting September 16

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, exhausted, or just in need of something real, these groups are for you.
