Virtual Peer Support Group

About

GGH has proudly been running VIRTUAL peer support groups facilitated by Carm since September 2020 and has had over 40 new participants sign up throughout the last year. We all have experienced loss in one form or another. We are also constantly growing and evolving the relationship we have with ourselves as it changes throughout these periods of loss and self-discovery. We gotta take care of ourselves!

This group particularly focuses in the regaining a sense of self and proudly owning our stories with the support and validation of others while using vulnerability as our power. Content for group is curated based on the overall needs of the group through the initial screening process (phone call) when you do sign up via email. It has been a pleasure to have previous participants join again and continue to demonstrate self-growth while also being incredible supports for new participants. GGH currently has two groups running.

Testimonials

This group is one of the most progressive, comfortable, and wise mental health related service I have ever come across. I would recommend this for everyone who wants to meet others, learn about the challenges other may be facing, while also feeling there is space for them to share their own experiences should they wish to. Carm does an incredible job facilitating the group, and it is evident the amount of hard work and heart she puts into this. Thank you Carm! <3
This group was a wonderful weekly check in. Carm goes above and beyond to plan meaningful, engaging weekly sessions. The atmosphere of the group is positive, while still holding space for people to share their experiences. Carm provides excellent weekly worksheets, which could be a second program all on its own!
Carm, you are incredible, I genuinely have no ways you should improve! Just keep doing what you're doing!
Thank you for this! I find everything you do above and beyond ❤️ I would love to join in again after my new course is over 😘
I really looked forward to this group each and every week. Thanks so much Carm!
You’re the best, #teamggh!!
The Girls Gotta Heal peer support group entered my life at a time where I was experiencing both new and old loss and it was the perfect space to unpack both. Being apart of the group taught me to honour where i am, release any shame I attached to my mental health journey and find comfort within the stories of others. It opened my mind to endless pathways and new ideas of how I will continue to grow within myself and my grief. The one word I could use to describe the peer group was warmth. Girls gotta heal is truly a space of acceptance, growth and support.
Carm's GGH peer support group was helpful in so many ways while in my grief journey. I loved that our group came from different walks of life but we have experienced similar obstacles in healing and self love. Carm really allowed us the space and comfort to share and interact with each other while providing a unique perspective. I received tools to better cope with my grief and having a better relationship with myself. I'm looking forward to all GGH has to offer in the future!
In discovering the online grieving community, I am grateful to have come across the Girls Gotta Heal platform. I immediately resonated, felt safe and welcome in my most intimate and dark thoughts. Through the Girls Gotta Heal peer support group, I was able to connect with others online in a way that sparked a much needed conversation. Everyone brings different experiences, loss, and pain to the group that unifies us in such a beautifully, tragic way. Girls gotta heal because we are stronger as a community. I am so grateful to Carm for creating that for us.
The one word I could use to describe the peer support group was warmth. Girls gotta heal is truly a space of acceptance, growth and support.
This group is a great space to connect with like-minded ladies who are on the path to healing. Carm is compassionate and understanding which really sets the welcoming tone of the group. As a first-timer who wasn't sure about opening up to strangers on the internet, I sure felt comfortable pretty quickly sharing my experiences. If you are unsure, just do it and you will certainly surprise yourself!
First and foremost, GGH is a safe place where you are welcomed as you are. Carm is an excellent facilitator with clear direction for the group and topics, but also very flexible should conversations veer in a slightly different direction. Carm creates a space where you can explore your inner self unabashedly. The girls in the group are lovely and supportive and I truly view the peer support group as a form of self care during the week.
Group was a safe space that allowed me to explore who I was , am and want to be in the future. Talked to alot of great people and learned so much about myself and others.
I love the Girls Gotta Heal Support groups! It is my designated time for self care in the week and no matter what is going on in my schedule, I always work things around so I can attend. It's a community of young, supportive women, all in different stages of their healing, working on themselves as a team. Carm is an excellent facilitator and someone I deeply admire in the mental health advocacy space. If you are hesitant on joining, I would definitely recommend it!
Awesome experience with great women.
The GGH peer support group allowed me to connect with other women and gave me a great sense of community, while reminding me that I am not alone in my struggles.
I was very nervous to join group at first but after talking to Carm, I felt so much more comfortable. She provided a safe space for me to be open with no judgement. It truly was one of the best experiences and I cannot wait to join more groups.
