A place for people to share their experiences, their encouragement and support for one another and to network together.

Supporting each other goes beyond just sending an encouraging message, which we do rely on through difficult stages in our journey and we allow this space for each other to steam out and vent, it also means going to or showing up in support of each others events.

Event Details:
10:15A – 11:15A Jessie F. Hallett Memorial Library Crosby, MN 56441
