Proving the move was worth it

People arrive in the Treasure Valley from California, Washington, Oregon and the big cities of the mountain west, chasing a house they can afford, shorter commutes and foothills out the back door. They leave behind parents who did not want them to go and friends who said they would visit. Then the first year is lonelier than the brochure. Locals can be cool toward another transplant, the social circles in Meridian and Eagle formed before you came, and the family back home wants to hear that it was all worth it. So you post the mountain photos and keep the rest to yourself. A marriage can strain under that, the kids are the only ones making friends, and winter inversions settle over the valley for weeks and make everything a little grayer.

Why it helps

How peer support helps near Boise

A peer group is a room where you do not have to defend the decision or perform the happy ending. You join from home in Nampa or an office in downtown Boise, and the people there have made their own hard moves and know the difference between regret and adjustment.

    Frequently asked questions

    Do I need to live in Boise to join?

    No. Groups are online, so you can join from Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, Eagle, Kuna, Star, Mountain Home or anywhere else in southern Idaho.

    What time zone do the groups use?

    Boise is on Mountain time and the times here are shown that way. If you are in the Idaho panhandle on Pacific time, your device will show the hour correctly for you.

    Will the group be full of people from the same place I came from?

    Members join from everywhere, so a group might include other transplants, people from the town they never left and anyone in between.

    I grew up here and I am the one struggling with all the change. Is this for me?

    Yes. The loneliness and stress groups are for anyone, and watching your hometown turn into somewhere new is its own kind of loss.
