WV DR Support Group

About the Group

We will be offering videos from different Counselors and Teachers from Right Now Media.

This is a ZOOM meeting based group set up to share what we're going through.  We won't discuss any content of any videos watched, this will be more just check-in, how are you feeling, what do you want to share of what's going on for you.  We'll take turns sharing, maintaining our Group Guidelines.

Group meets Wednesday evening at 6 pm PST via ZOOM.

Please read the section below to know more about our group.

If you have any questions or want to join the group, email Tom Bartunek at ChappyTom77@gmail.com.
