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                          All participants MUST pre-register    FACILITATED BY:   Liz Hannigan, a practicing step-mom for many years "A Man's Journey" - Tuesday Group      Many men are searching for another way of expressing and defining success as a man.
