Support Groups
PAVE's support groups are safe and inclusive spaces where individuals share their experiences, offer understanding, and provide emotional support. We respect and value each member's perspectives, ensuring confidentiality and non-judgment. We encourage active listening, empathy, and compassion towards one another, fostering an environment of trust and mutual respect.
Our community agreement was created to promote open and honest communication, where members can respectfully express their thoughts and feelings in a safe, supported, and trusting community space. PAVE support groups are dedicated to fostering personal growth, resilience, and a sense of community among its members.
Please take a moment to read through each agreement before submitting your registration.
By attending and participating in PAVE support groups, you acknowledge and agree to these guidelines and commit to contributing positively to all members' collective support and growth.
