Toughing it out, one shift at a time

In Southeast Michigan the mood of whole neighborhoods has long followed the plants, and layoffs or a cut shift can arrive with little warning. The region is built around driving, yet keeping a car insured and on the road costs more here than almost anywhere, and many Detroiters cannot reliably get where they need to go. Winter brings weeks of cloud cover with very little sun. Longtime residents remember neighbors leaving and blocks growing quiet, and the newcomers arriving now are starting without roots.

Why it helps

How peer support helps near Detroit

A peer group is a place where being strong is not required. It asks for no car, no gas money and no bus schedule, and the people in it know what it is like to wait on news about work.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to live in Detroit to join?

No. Groups meet online, so you can join from Warren, Sterling Heights, Dearborn, Livonia, Ann Arbor, Oakland County, Macomb County, Downriver or anywhere else.

I do not have a car. Can I take part?

Yes. Groups are held by video, so you join from home on a phone, tablet or computer and no travel is involved.

I am not used to talking about my problems. What is a group like?

A group is a small number of people talking openly with a peer host guiding the conversation. You can listen first and share when you are ready, and many members say hearing others is what made it easier to speak.

Can my spouse or partner join too?

Yes. Each adult creates a free account of their own, and you can join the same group or different ones.
