Support groups for single women of all ages are an opportunity to make new friends, find mentors, and create community. A group can begin with just two or three women, creating a safe, comfortable space in which to share experiences, exchange information and obtain mentoring for difficult life changes like divorce, death, or a move to a new city. Groups can be formed based on any acquaintance with shared interests like work, yoga, church, social activism, neighborhood- someone you meet walking the dog or standing in line at the market. Groups meet once a month and use the native tradition of the ' sharing circle,” the practice of listening silently to each participant.

Research shows that women’s health directly corresponds to their level of support and friendship.
