STEP MOM'S SUPPORT GROUP: Being a parent is a challenging job, yet to take on the responsibility of being a "step mom"
can be the most difficult task one can imagine. You have all the duties of a "mom" without the power, respect, biological-connection,
or control that comes with being a parent. Come and join with other step-moms who are in similar situations. Together we can
encourage and support each other in facing these daunting tasks. In a safe environment we will brain-storm helpful solutions
to the myriad of problems that often occur, including the following: - Dealing with ex's
- Discipline
of children
- Money issues
- Building
a solid and supportive couple's relationship
- Stress management
- Juggling schedules and visitations
- Dealing
with Holidays and vacations
- YOUR personal "favorites"
WHEN: Every first Thursday of the month
Noon until 1:30 PM
WHERE: Center for Creative Living, Danville
FEE:
$25 per session
TO REGISTER: Call Liz at (925) 855-1745

Groups offer a
wonderful way to share the load,
and lessen the load. In a group, you find others who
are facing challenges similar to those
you are facing.
You find caring people and new techniques to deal with
specific life-situations. The supportive
group offers
something quite different than individual therapy. "Most of us are anxious to improve our circumstances but
are unwilling to improve ourselves - and we therefore remain bound." -- James Allen Center
