Online Support Groups Near Spokane
Whether you are in Spokane Valley, Cheney, Coeur d'Alene, Pullman or somewhere else in the Inland Northwest, ShareWell has live online support groups you can join from the city or from a town where the nearest group is a long drive away. Spokane is the hub for a huge stretch of eastern Washington, north Idaho and western Montana, and a lot of people in that stretch are on their own with whatever they are carrying.
Every group meets online by live video, so you can join from home.
These online groups start during the day and evening in Pacific time, so they fit a day near Spokane.

A group when the nearest one is hours away
People drive to Spokane from the wheat country, the mountain towns and the reservations for the hospitals, the airport and the big stores, and then drive back to places where the counselor comes once a month and everyone knows your truck. Even inside the city, winters are long, the snow closes people in, and the north side and the valley can feel far apart. Grief, a drinking problem, a marriage in trouble or a diagnosis gets handled privately because there is nowhere to take it. Newcomers from Seattle and California arrive expecting a smaller version of what they left and find a place with its own ways. The growth has brought people and traffic, but it has not brought a support group to every small town, and the ones that exist meet at hours that do not suit a ranch or a shift at the base.
