Support Group for Adult Onlies

Going through life as an only child is a unique experience that shapes who you are in profound ways. This group offers a safe, empathetic space for adults who share this singular perspective to come together, connect, and explore their shared journey. 

Through guided discussions, we’ll explore topics like building and maintaining meaningful relationships, navigating feelings of loneliness and longing, and finding a balance between self-reliance and seeking support. Group members will have the opportunity to share their experiences, gain new perspectives, and develop strategies to navigate the joys and challenges that come with being an only adult child. Whether you're seeking validation, insight, or strategies for personal growth, this group offers a supportive environment to share and learn with others who understand you.

Join us to connect, reflect, and grow alongside fellow adult only children.

“As an adult only child myself, I wish I had a space to explore the impact of this unique experience on so many different areas of my life. That is why I created this group.”

"Growing up as an only child teaches you independence, but adulthood teaches you the value of connection."
