PEER SUPPORT GROUPS

Healing Happens in Community, Find a Group That Fits You.

At TendWell, we believe healing happens in community — through showing up, sharing space, and being witnessed just as we are. Our groups offer a chance to connect with others who’ve been through it too — whether you're processing trauma, navigating illness, or simply longing for meaningful connection.

Unearth: An Art Peer Support Group

IN PERSON GROUP, Inner SE Portland
Monday 6-7 pm

Unearth: An Art Peer Support Group is a creative and supportive space, hosted by peer Dustin, where peers use art to explore and express their inner experiences. Each week, the group reflects on a chosen theme through any artistic medium—whether creating or finding art—and shares in community to deepen connection, self-understanding, and healing. No artistic experience is needed, just a willingness to engage.

PEER CONNECTION HOUR: FOR FOLX WITH CHRONIC ILLNESS

ONLINE GROUP, Zoom
Tuesday 1-2 pm

Peer Connection Hour is a space, hosted by peer Lyndsay, specifically for people navigating chronic illness to connect and share what’s present for them, without having to explain or justify their experiences every time. It’s about creating a space where people already “get it” on some level, so folks can drop into what’s alive for them in the moment. And to see that they are far from alone in these experiences.
