Scenario

When support groups no longer serve their members' evolving needs

Our book club started as a way for stay-at-home moms to connect but now some of us work full-time and some are dealing with teenagers and some are caring for aging parents and we're all in such different phases that we barely relate to each other's lives anymore. We still meet but it feels like we're going through the motions and I don't think anyone knows how to acknowledge that we've outgrown this format.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group formed around shared circumstances is struggling to adapt to the reality that those circumstances have diverged, leaving everyone wondering whether connection is still possible.
