What to expect
NAOMI will honor your story and confidentiality. There is no cost for anything.
Groups
All groups are online and in-person at the same time and last about an hour.
You won’t be called on to speak, discussion is always optional.
Topics range from codependency and boundaries to naming feelings and connected parenting.
For those joining in-person, we provide a meal during the group.
Kids are welcome. Childcare is available for ages 0-10. For older children, there are nearby space for them to play. You can check on them anytime or they can be with you if needed. (Content may be censored if there are children in the room.)
If it’s your first time, Shante will help you get settled and show you around.
For those joining online, the Zoom link opens at the scheduled group time. You will be able to see those in person and they will see you (if your camera is on).
You can join in the conversation or choose to just listen. Feel free to log in or off as needed.
Gatherings
Gatherings are in-person and include an activity and food.
Kids are absolutely welcome.
Not everyone has kids or brings their kids but there are always some kids running around!
We gather around a table and food sharing our challenges with healing, parenting and coping with decisions we have to make. It is real life conversation and informal.
We refrain from giving advice and instead listen and validate what each of us is going through.
Sharing is always optional, no one will put you on the spot.
One-on-one Support
“I feel alone in this”
"Am I crazy, is this really a thing?”
“How do I keep moving forward?”
”I’m afraid I’m going to use again.”
”I’ve relapsed and I don’t know what to do next.”
”Something just happened and I don’t know what I’m feeling.”
Women who are a part of the NAOMI Community frequently reach out to have someone listen to them, validate what they are experiencing and help them figure out how to take the next right step. Each time they reach out for support their brain, body and soul gradually heal.
When you need support, you can reach out with a call, text, email or arrange a time to meet in person.
