Stronger Together Peer Support
Bellis hosts weekly online meetings as well as monthly in-person meetings for people whose children are parented by others. There are separate groups for men and women.
Whether your experiences include termination of parental rights, transfer of custody, an open child protection case, or other situation, you are welcome to this free, safe, and confidential conversation. All meetings are available at no financial cost to the participants.
A licensed, trauma-informed professional will facilitate every meeting. The heart of the program is people with shared experiences lifting each other in acceptance, compassion, and friendship. No shame. No judgment.
Please join the online meetings from a private space or use headphones. Thank you!
Bellis is a Minnesota-based nonprofit organization leading national groundbreaking work offering grief support to mothers and fathers whose children are parented by others.
