Starting Over in Stark

For those facing major life changes looking to reclaim and redefine their lives. Focus on grief recovery from major transitions - divorce, death, health, job, or faith. Looking to move past survive and into thrive.

Starting Over in Stark is an informal support group and is not professionally led. We are a safe group to share your concerns with your current life challenges. Because many members are recovering from intense and difficult transitions, we ask that all discussions remain in confidence.

Starting Over in Stark is not a dating group, and is open to all -single or married, who are in need of new friends, connecting with others, and transitional recovery support. Dating among members is highly discouraged. If any members of SOS make unwanted contact with other members either during or outside of meetings, those members will be reminded of this policy. If unwanted contact continues, members will be removed from the group.
