If this is impossible for a group member to do, then I highly encourage they seek help from a professional who can help them navigate and make their own tools. This group in no form or way replaces or comes close to replaci …

With this group we can do all kinds of get togethers like casual, friendly, supportive and social events/activities. We seek to build a fun, friendly, nonju …

Since you must have SAD to join (this does not need to be formally diagnosed), everyone has similar challenges and will understand and not judge you.  We meet weekly at 3 di …

Lewis and Johnny Carson all have in common?  If you guessed that they are introverts, you're right!
