Support groups can change lives. 💬💚

Did you know that research shows people who participate in support groups are 2.5 times more likely to experience emotional improvement compared to those who go it alone? You're not alone — and you don't have to heal alone either.

COMPASS offers a wide variety of group discussions designed to meet people where they are — whether you're navigating interpersonal violence, gambling struggles, anger management, grief, or other life challenges. 💭✨

🧭 We are here to help.

📸 Be sure to check out our COMPASS Group Offerings album under our photos to explore what's available.

🔁 And don't forget to follow our page — some of our group topics change monthly, so there's always something new designed with you in mind.

🗞️ Be sure to look for our ad in the Business Journal, published today!

Our newest ad shines a light on a difficult truth—interpersonal violence can affect anyone, even professionals trained to spot it in others.
When it happens close to home or within the workplace, it can be hard to name. That’s why we’re sharing a message of support: no shame, no judgment—just help when you need it.

If you or someone on your team is struggling, we’re here. Confidentially. 24/7.
