Faith-based Group Coaching. Join us to share your journey, find solace in spiritual connection, and navigate the challenges of health with faith as our cornerstone. Facilitated by Angelica Dempsey who holds a BS degree in Human Services, serves as a Big Sister for Big Brothers and Sisters of America, and lives a life of faith in service through her belief in God.
Chronic Warrior Coaching brings together small groups of 7-10 people living with chronic illness, rare disease, and/or disability to connect and find support with peers who “get” them in a safe space. Groups are NOT illness or disease specific, however, may be determined by interest, location, and other common factors.
You'll enjoy:
- Fun, social connection, and problem-solving where you’ll feel heard and find support from others that live a faith-based life each day.
- Experienced facilitator
- A semi-structured experience with plenty of time for free discussion
- Focus on peer connection and support as well as humor and gratitude
Chronic Warrior Coaching is for people who are going through the typical challenges of someone living with chronic illness, rare disease, or disability, but who may not need therapy or counseling right now. For those already seeing a mental health professional, Chronic Warrior Coaching can be a great partner in care and a place to practice new skills and techniques. (However, coaching is a non-clinical approach not meant to be a replacement for mental health counseling or therapy.)
Overview of a Typical Session
- We start each session with a few moments of gratitude and humor.
- Members check-in with each others’ feelings and experiences since the last session.
- We close the session by highlighting important lessons, aha moments, and anything you may feel you’ll carry into the coming week that you want to work on or recognize.
- Final reminder to “find your joy” even in the smallest ways in the week ahead!
Your commitment:
- Make every effort to attend each week! (We know it’s not always easy with illness and, sometimes, just life in general, so please let us know if you can’t join so we know you’re ok and we’ll see you soon.)
- Join as close to starting time as possible from a quiet and private space.
- Maintain the privacy of fellow group members and never share personal information or discussions from the group with others.
- Bring as much love and support as you expect to receive. (Sometimes you may need more than you’re able to give, but balance that by giving more than you need when able.)
