Who This Group Is For
Unbroken is for adults who identify as chronically ill and/or disabled and are seeking a supportive, affirming space to connect with others who share similar lived experiences.
This group may be a good fit for individuals who:
Live with chronic illness, disability, or ongoing health conditions
Experience fluctuating capacity, fatigue, pain, or medical trauma
Feel isolated or unseen in traditional support or therapy spaces
Are navigating identity, grief, or acceptance related to illness or disability
Want a space centered on connection, belonging, and shared understanding, rather than fixing or pushing through
Value a group grounded in disability justice, consent, and accessibility
This group is not skills-based or problem-solving focused. Instead, it centers lived experience, relational support, and collective resilience in a gentle, supported container.
Participants are welcome to engage at their own pace. Rest, boundaries, and variable participation are honored and respected.
