Our Groups
Donation-based peer-led skills groups for emotional wellness.
Learn DBT, IFS, and other evidence-based skills in a supportive community — no experience or diagnosis required.
What are skills groups?
A skills group is a small community of people who meet regularly to learn and practice life skills together. It's not therapy, and it's not a class — it's a supportive space where peers help each other grow.
Every meeting includes mindfulness, skill building, and open discussion. Members practice real techniques from evidence-based approaches like DBT and IFS, then take what they've learned into their daily lives.
Think of it like a book club, but for emotional wellness. You show up, you participate as much or as little as you want, and you leave with tools you can actually use.
What we teach
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)
DBT was originally developed to help people manage intense emotions. It teaches practical, everyday skills that anyone can benefit from — not just people in therapy.
Distress Tolerance
Survive crisis moments without making things worse. Learn to ride the wave.
Mindfulness
Be present, observe without judgment, and participate fully in your life.
Emotion Regulation
Understand your emotions, reduce vulnerability, and build positive experiences.
Interpersonal Effectiveness
Ask for what you need, say no, and maintain self-respect in relationships.
IFS (Internal Family Systems)
IFS helps you understand the different “parts” of yourself — the inner critic, the anxious protector, the wounded child — and develop a compassionate relationship with all of them. It's about self-leadership: learning to lead from your calm, curious, confident core Self.
Coming soon: ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy), Somatics, and more modalities as our community grows.

Real people meeting in real places. Online groups available for those who need them.

“We believe evidence-based skills like DBT and IFS belong to everyone. Many therapy skills are teachable by anyone with guidance — which is why we're building leader manuals that make it simple for anyone to sit down together and practice these skills, whether that's a family, a friend group, a church, or a workplace.”

What our community says
"DBT w Friends provided me with much needed moral support, comfort and encouragement when my teenage daughter was first diagnosed with BPD. The skills learned are still instrumental in navigating tough experiences with her."
