What are G-Connect Gatherings?
Our peer support gatherings allow guardians to connect over shared experiences and similarities.
We encourage you to continue building your network of peer guardians & connections to your community. We also often share and discuss new & existing resources for mental health & wellness available.
Vet2Vet (for veterans and active duty military)
First Line (Law Enforcement, Fire, and EMS)
Women Guardians (for women across service branches)
Gatherings may be in-person or held virtually via zoom.
Although we always love to see your face, feel free to keep your camera off & your microphone silent and tune in for a listen. You never know what you'll learn!
