Online Support Groups Near Salt Lake City

When the community you were raised in is no longer yours

Along the Wasatch Front, much of life runs through large families, close congregations and neighborhoods where everyone pitches in, and for people inside that world the support is real. For the person who has stepped away from the faith they grew up in, married outside it, come out, divorced or simply moved here from somewhere else, the same closeness can turn into a wall. Family dinners get complicated, old friends drift, and the newcomers from California and Colorado who came for the mountains and the tech jobs find that the social circles were formed long before they arrived. Young parents here often carry high expectations of themselves, and perfectionism is a quiet, common companion. The valley air in winter keeps everyone indoors for weeks at a time.
