Online Support Groups Near Sacramento

Whether you are in Elk Grove, Roseville, Folsom, Davis or somewhere else around the Sacramento Valley, ShareWell has live online support groups for the part of moving that nobody warned you about.

Local life

Moved for the house, left the friends behind

Sacramento has absorbed wave after wave of families who could no longer make the Bay Area work and came up the highway for more space. The house is bigger and the payment is smaller, but the people they used to see every week are now two hours away in traffic, and a visit takes a whole Saturday. State workers and healthcare staff keep steady hours here, which is good for routine and bad for meeting anyone new, and the suburbs between Elk Grove and Roseville are built around driveways rather than front porches. Then the summer heat arrives and everyone retreats behind closed doors until October.

Why it helps

How peer support helps near Sacramento

A peer group gives you a weekly appointment with people who are also figuring out a new chapter, without a drive back to the Bay. You join from the new house, and over a few weeks the group becomes the first thing in town that feels like yours.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to live in Sacramento to join?

No. Groups are online, so you can join from Elk Grove, Roseville, Folsom, Citrus Heights, Rancho Cordova, Davis, Rocklin or anywhere else in the valley.

Can my partner and I join the same group?

You can, though many couples find it easier to speak freely in separate groups. Either way, each person joins from their own device.

Are groups available during the workday?

Yes. There are groups at lunchtime and in the afternoon in Pacific time, as well as mornings and evenings.

Is this a replacement for therapy?

No. Peer support groups are people with shared experience listening to each other. Many members use them alongside a therapist, and others use them while waiting for one.
