Wednesdays, 12:00 – 1:15 pm

Where is it?

To be determined. We will discuss the format most preferred by the group, via Zoom or in-person. If in-person is preferred, the location will be in our Park Ridge office (1440 Renaissance Drive).

What is the Process to Join?

All individuals who are interested in joining need to contact andrewfishman@thejunipercenter.com to participate in a brief (15-20 minute) intake call to see if the group is a good fit for that individual and to orient them to the idea of the group.

What is the Structure of the Group?

We will spend time each week checking in with members, playing get-to-know-you games, and playing social video games as a way of helping members connect and support one another. The ideal Group size will be 8-10 participants.

The cost is $30/session and sliding scale pay will be accepted.
