Good Grief Network’s 10-Step Program is a peer-to-peer support group where people come together for 2 hours a week, over 10 weeks, to build community, process our heavy and painful feelings about the state of the world, and identify meaningful actions each of us can take. Each group is facilitated by GGN-trained and certified FLOW Facilitators; this is not a therapy program. This is a sharing space; not a discussion space.
We prioritize an intimate group experience, capping each group at 15 participants, including the two-person facilitation team.
This 10-Step session is specifically for scientists, climate professionals, environmental educators, and anyone else who has a role studying or teaching about the climate/biological crisis.
In this space, our facilitators will create a brave, emergent container where each participant can explore how it feels to do the work of environmental advocacy during times of great disruption, chaos, and uncertainty. We will do the deep work of facing and processing our feelings with others, so that we can care for ourselves and our communities as we continue to do our work in the world.
Good Grief Network does not offer prescribed advice. We share resources and use group consciousness to support each participant. Our pain, our worries, and our journeys need a witness. Cheryl Richardson says, "People start to heal the moment they feel heard." We are here to promote connection and encourage the emergence of beauty and joy during this Great Turning.

GGN encourages you to join our private social media channel on Mighty Networks, where you can connect with other parents in our global community outside of the formal meeting space of the 10-Step Program.
Important Notes:
- We prioritize small groups, so spots are limited. Please only sign up for this group if you are able to attend the full two hours of all 10 meetings (barring unexpected circumstances, of course).
