groups

Every group member will be interviewed by a group facilitator. During that interview, we’ll get to know you and use that knowledge to hand-pick other people to be in your group.
Members share core commonalities like life experiences, areas of interest (ex: Parenting issues, challenges of being a loved one of someone suffering from addiction etc.)
After a Thrive Group is formed, it’s closed to new members. All members commit to meeting for 12 weeks. After 12 weeks, groups may continue on.

Groups focus on the personal growth of each member of the group. You’ll be seen and supported for who you really are.
We will also work on issues, related to the theme of the group. Our goal is to help you thrive in your life despite the circumstances.

• A safe and confidential space to share and talk
• Direction and Clarity
• Skills you can use in your life
• Connection with others
• Empowerment in your life
• Being heard and seen
• Learning how to face tough times
  By talking about your emotions and what’s going on in your life, you’ll realize that you’re not alone and get ideas for how to improve your situation.

It may depend on the theme of the group. The Thrive Groups are for people who feel stuck in one or more areas in their lives, who want to learn more about self-development, want to grow, make their relationships happier, and thrive in each area of their lives.

The Thrive Groups are not traditional group therapy and are not meant to treat specific mental problems and diagnoses. That’s why the Project Thrive Program is not covered by health insurance.

Real and lasting change takes time. To learn new and healthier ways of relating to ourselves and others takes practice and takes time. We have found that 12 weeks is about the right length of time.

Group members and your facilitator will keep all conversations, observations and interactions private and confidential.
If you want to talk about group experiences to others outside of the group, we ask that you focus just on your experiences.
Don’t tell others’ stories, even in an anonymous way. If you have additional questions about confidentiality, feel free to ask us.

Yes, you can. You can even turn your camera off. For many if not most people, starting our self development journey is often scary. For many of us just thinking about being part of a group or to being a contributing group member makes us uncomfortable and for those of us deep in distress it will probably make us extremely uncomfortable. Project Thrive knows this and knows also that for the large majority of people who are stuck, it is their fear and their response to it that is preventing them from moving forward and thriving. This simply is what it is and It is all okay. In Project Thrive NOBODY DOES ANYTHING THEY DO NOT WANT TO DO! This is foundational for us.

We know that for many of us in distress, just attending a group call with both camera and microphone off is a courageous act. We know also that it is courage that enables us to move forward and its absence that keeps us stuck. Over time we have had many people start their journey with us with their cameras and microphones off and they only turned them on when they and they alone were ready to. We believe that if you are experiencing significant discomfort in contemplating joining us and/or are convinced that groups are just not your thing, that this as an extremely promising indicator that you will eventually like and benefit from what we have to offer you if you commit to hanging in with us for 12 weeks. We know that this may seem counterintuitive to you on the front end but we believe it will become self evident to you once you are well into the program.

In Project Thrive everyone gets to set their own pace.
