If this is your first time here, please sign up for a first timers group. We do this to ensure the safety of our members, and our hosts as this is a very personal subject.

Please take the time to review just a couple things before joining: 1. I am not a mental health counselor, licensed counselor, doctor, or coordinator. I am simply someone who has had a similar experience to the people who meet in these groups. No advice or suggestions in here are to be taken as medical advice. Please see your physician before changing any medication routines, or before making any large life changing decisions. You may discuss coping mechanisms you have learned in a therapy group, or discuss medications that work for you, but be advised this is NOT medical advice, nor is anything in this group intended to be used for the purpose of a diagnosis or for treatment purposes. Please consult a physician or a mental health counselor, this group is not a therapy group, it is a support group. If you are in dire need of help, suicidal, or in an unsafe situation, please contact your local police or helpline ASAP. 2. While the leader of this group is an attorney, Nothing said or discussed in this group is to be construed as legal advice. We may guide you towards helpful legal resources, but we are in NO way, shape, or form, giving you legal advice. Do not take any advice pertaining to law enforcement, courts, any sort of restraining order, attorney references, legal resources, suggestions, etc. as true legal advice. It is simply a suggestion for you to have for your own personal use to make your own personal judgment as what is best for you and your situation. 3. Please remember that not everyone’s experiences are your own. Every one deals with things in different ways, every one copes in different ways, every one reacts in different ways, and every one finds solutions in different ways. Be polite to your group mates, please. 4. NO SOLICITATION. We offer free resources from time to time. Members love posting informational videos regarding the topics discussed during our meetings and that is absolutely wonderful, we love sharing knowledge! BUT, do not come in here selling MLM products, classes, tools, therapy groups, medication, pamphlets, booklets, or any sort of products UNLESS OTHERWISE APPROVED BY KAY, ROBY, NATALIYA, CHRISTINE, RAYSA, SARAH OR RUBY. We do not take kindly to messaging other members trying to push beliefs or information down their throats. 5. There may be mentions of abuse. 6. We encourage everyone to chat and talk and make friends outside the group if you feel comfortable, we love making new friends and broadening our support group! Enjoy! ##

The higher your vibration, the stronger your immune system. 2. The more positive your thoughts, the stronger your immune system. 3.

A good night's sleep will strengthen your immune system. 6. The healthier the nutrients (food) you put in your body, the stronger your immune system.

**THIS MEETING FOR WOMEN-X ONLY. FOR ANYONE IDENTIFYING AS FEMALE.** **Welcome to the Parental Alienation Anonymous community.** **Please go to our website [pa-a.org](https://parentalalienationanonymous.com/contact/) and sign and fill in the [contact page](https://parentalalienationanonymous.com/contact/). You will receive an automated email immediately, please check your spam if you don’t see the email. It will contain all meeting times and links as well as a link to community resources, PDFs about our support groups and other valuable information.** **If you are new to our community you are welcome at any meeting. The topics vary and we suggest trying several meetings to find the ones that resonate with you. [We have 14 meetings a week all on zoom](https://parentalalienationanonymous.com/meeting-schedule/). The community is incredibly robust and includes folks from all over the world.** **[PA-A is a support group](https://parentalalienationanonymous.com/what-is-a-12-step-meeting/) for people struggling with varying degrees of alienation, estrangement and erasure from their children, grandchildren, parents and other members of their extended family. This also includes previously alienated children. Meetings usually have 20-40 people attending. You can choose to have your camera on or off and participate or just listen.** **PA-A is designed to support people in different phases of the alienation continuum, from those with absolutely no contact, to partial contact and to members who have reestablished regular contact. We are all struggling in unique ways. Our individual struggles all have common intersections, and it is this that brings us together to start the healing process.** **We are a [12-step](https://parentalalienationanonymous.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/PA-A-Newcomer-Booklet.pdf) community. What this means is we are recovery based. We concentrate on working on solutions to our emotional, spiritual and physical challenges that arise out of alienation and all of our relationships. There are a lot of facebook groups and other resources out there. We differ considerably as we have a framework (Allanon) that has worked for over 70 years for people struggling with all sorts of interpersonal relationships. We have adapted this program for alienation.** **The meetings have structure, a leader and a secretary that maintain safety and consistency. We use a timer so no one person can dominate a meeting. We also share in a way that supports and uplifts our community. This is really useful if you feel stuck, hopeless and alone. It keeps us out of the spiral of alienation and gives us a way out.** **Some people think once their alienated child or family member is back in their lives that reconnection will be a relatively smooth process, but the reality is that recovery is a lifelong journey. As PA-A grows in numbers and strength, we will learn how to heal and thrive as a community. Some of the greatest support I receive is in my daily integration of rebuilding a relationship with one of my daughters.** **We as a community have had so many success stories of people reuniting and more importantly seeing people in early stages that have some contact with their loved ones deepen and heal before full on alienation sets in.** **Please send any questions to [parentalalienationanonymous@gmail.com](mailto:parentalalienationanonymous@gmail.com)** **Welcome and we hope to see you in the rooms!!**

We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups!

Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply. ### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?** Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us. * Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind. * An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection. * An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms. * Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus. ## **Our Impact**  Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported: * A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being. * An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging. * Said they would return again. We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself. ### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based** Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission! Every contribution helps us: * **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization. * **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year. By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic. ## **Come Join Us!** We’d love to have you be part of this growing community of people prioritizing their mental health, movement, and connection. 🔹 **Visit Our Website to Learn More:** https://speakyourmind.men/joinusoutside 🔹 **Apply Here to Lead Your Own Group!** – https://form.jotform.com/taketimespeakyourmind/sym-group-leader-application 🔹 **Support the mission**: If you resonate with the mission and want to support, feel free to join a group before applying or donate to help us reach our goals to help more people!
