First Monday of Month (FMM) - Peer-Led Support Topic Meeting - May

Our topic this month is:  "The Concept of Letting Go"

This month, we explore the concept of "letting go."  As we contemplate all the ways our lives have changed and will continue to change, letting go of the future we thought we had is painful and scary.  

In our Peer-Led Support Topic Meetings this month, we will define exactly what letting go means--and doesn't mean-- as we navigate this very familiar stumbling block we all have met.  

At the W Connection, we believe that "letting go" is a foundational component for moving forward and rebuilding our lives.
