Local life

You moved for the job, and the rest takes longer

Dallas-Fort Worth is one of the fastest-growing regions in the country, and a large share of the people arriving came for work. When the job is the reason you are here, a layoff can take away the reason along with the paycheck, and the past few years brought large cuts in corporate, logistics and airline jobs. The region stretches across two big cities and dozens of suburbs, so neighbors often commute in opposite directions and rarely meet. Half of renters in Dallas are stretched by housing costs, and each winter cold snap brings back the memory of the grid failing.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to live in Dallas to join?

No. Groups are online, so you can join from Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Irving, Garland, Frisco, McKinney, Denton or anywhere else.

I moved here for work and do not know anyone. Is this a way to meet people?

It is a way to have real conversations with people who understand what you are going through. Members join from across the country, so think of it as a support circle more than a local meetup.

My partner took a job here and I came along. Is there support for me?

Yes. Many members are building a new life after a move that was not for their own career. Groups for loneliness, anxiety and relationship struggles are good places to start.

Can I join from Fort Worth?

Yes. Groups are held by video and open to everyone in North Texas and beyond.
