Online Support Groups Near Miami

Whether you are in Hialeah, Fort Lauderdale, Broward, Homestead or somewhere else in South Florida, ShareWell has live online support groups where you do not have to explain yourself first. Most people in Miami came from somewhere else, and many carry worries about family, money and the next storm that are hard to explain to anyone who has not lived them.

Every group meets online by live video, so you can join from home.

These online groups start during the day and evening in Eastern time, so they fit a day near Miami.

Local life

Holding two worlds together

South Florida is home to people from all over Latin America, the Caribbean and the rest of the United States, and many live with part of their family in another country. Rent takes an unusually large share of income here, and condo owners on fixed incomes have watched insurance and building costs climb. For six months of every year people track storms, stock supplies and decide whether to stay or leave. Add months of heat and some of the heaviest traffic in the country, and it becomes easy to go a long time without sitting down with someone who understands.

Why it helps

How peer support helps near Miami

In a peer group you meet people who have also started over, who also send help to family far away, or who also lie awake during storm season. You join from home, so the Palmetto at rush hour is not part of the plan.
