There is no one way to answer this question. This role can bring vast complexities as well as great joy. Wherever you are in your journey, you don’t have to do it alone. This group is open to folks who find themselves parenting children who are not theirs, biologically. (no matter what language is used to define your role). This is a support group and is available to anyone located in the United States. LGBTQ+ inclusive.

What does it mean to be a stepparent?

  • This group will be led by Me, Meg Mattingly. I myself have been a stepparent since 2020. When I began my own journey, I remember feeling very isolated and desiring support from others who were navigating a similar role as me. I decided to start my first stepparent support group in 2022 and felt so grateful to be supporting others in their journey and helping to build community. I took a break when I gave birth to my son, but am ready to jump back into this work!

  • This biweekly group is $65 per session.

  • This group will meet virtually on an ongoing biweekly basis starting in March 2025. Group will last 75 minutes.

    This group will take place on Fridays and the specific time is still to be determined.

  • This group IS A place to feel heard, seen, and supported by others who are walking a similar path as you.

    This group is NOT a group specifically offering parenting tips and strategies. Although advice may be offered by others, this is not the main objective of this group.
