What we’re about

Welcome to Our Ex-Mormon Support & Discussion Group

Leaving the Mormon church is a profoundly personal and often challenging journey. This group is a safe, supportive space for ex-Mormons to come together and share their stories, reflections, and experiences. Whether you’re still processing your departure, grappling with the trauma of being in the church, or navigating your current struggles, you’re not alone.

Our goal is to foster an environment of connection, healing, and mutual understanding. We believe that sharing our experiences can be a powerful way to reclaim our voices and find solace in community. No topic is off-limits as long as it’s approached with respect and empathy.

How It Works:

Virtual Meetups: We hold regular Zoom calls where members can talk openly about their experiences. We discuss everything from the complexities of leaving the church to the emotional and mental impacts of Mormon teachings.

Confidentiality & Respect: Before joining a Zoom call, all participants must agree to uphold the privacy and confidentiality of other members. What is shared in the group stays in the group. Respect for one another’s journey and lived experience is non-negotiable.

Safe Space Commitment: We strive to maintain an inclusive, non-judgmental atmosphere where everyone’s story is honored. There is no "right" way to leave the church, and every perspective is valued.

Reminder:

This is not mental health therapy. These are group-led discussions, not group therapy. I Celine Bacigalupo am not a licensed mental health professional, and therefore I am not offering group therapy in any way shape or form at this time. If you attend any of these meeting then you are agreeing that you understand that this is not group therapy, but is only a group-led mental health support group what was created with the intention to create a community of support that helps us with the mental health struggles that often accompany being part of and leaving the Mormon cult.
However, because we will be discussing heavy, vulnerable topics, I ask that group members be respectful to all other group members by not sharing anything discussed in these meetings outside of these meetings. I want to make sure that everyone feels safe to show up authentically and fully—where everyone feels safe enough to show up exactly as they are and feel respected.
In order to keep this a safe environment, please assume that even if people don't explicitly say that they don't want their story to be discussed outside of our meetings, we assume that they don’t—unless they explicitly say that they are okay with their story being shared.
Your boundaries are important to me.
For some of us, this may be one of the first groups we've joined where we feel like our boundaries are respected. And this is extremely important because the Mormon cult often does not respect boundaries.
To maintain this feeling of safety, we all hold a responsibility to each other to respect each other's boundaries. This will be taken seriously. If there is anyone in the group who is disrespectful to another member, you will be removed from the group.

If at any time you feel uncomfortable with any happening that occurred in the group, PLEASE do not hesitate to reach out to me! I mean it. Feel free to message me at any time.

I hope that you feel safe and that your boundaries are respected in this group. Thank you for being here!
