There is nothing as supportive as to talk to someone who has gone through the same thing you are. That is why my mother founded a breast cancer organization in Sweden, called The Pearl, and this is one of the reasons I would like to host a variety of support groups at Telluselle Living Center. We’ll sit in a circle so we can create a conversation with equality, where everybody can share their experiences and their wishes. Together, we can find ways to cope and live better lives based on mutual compassion.

Topics can include:

• Living as a single parent
• Living with a terminal disease
• Living with PTSD
• Becoming unemployed
• Victims of abuse in a private relationship
• Victims of abuse in the workplace

The support groups can also include topics like:

• Starting a business
• Networking for work
• Expat experience
• Living more eco-friendly
• Rekindling passion
• Faith discussions
• Curbing racism
• Healthier ideals
• A cause for improving society

Do you have any particular need, or would you like to meet with others about a certain issue you would like to improve, or do you have an idea to pursue? All these things and more will be available for groups with about 8-10 people. You can also send me an email with your suggestions!
