FAQs About Our Peer Support Groups
Q: Is this for real? Are there any hidden costs?
A: No! There are ZERO hidden costs to participate in our peer support groups. Simply sign up for FREE and at the end of your session, you will be prompted with a “payment option". Pay whatever you can so we can keep this incredible service going and continue helping others. All of your payments/donations are sent directly to the moderators who are doing this work for free. We are actively looking for funding from grants, donors or sponsors, to better compensate the moderators and fund the expenses, but as of now it is all run on in-kind contributions from all involved.
