FSN News:
Family Strengths Network (FSN) has a new support group they would like the community to know about. The Next Chapter is a safe, compassionate space for women* connected with Los Alamos who are experiencing divorce or separation—whether it’s recent, ongoing, or years in the rearview mirror.
This group will provide opportunities for connection, shared experience, and support. Meetings may include guest speakers, helpful resources, and community connections focused on healing, personal growth, and navigating life transitions. The group is not about fixing or rushing the process, but about creating space to be heard and understood. Participants are welcome to share, listen, or simply be present—whatever feels right in the moment.
Meetings: 3rd Mondays of the month from 5:30-6:30 p.m. at Family Strengths Network – 3540
Orange St. The first meeting will be Feb. 16
Facilitator: Jane Brooks, LPCC
For more information, contact jane@janebrookscounseling.com
*While the term women is used throughout, this group may include those who identify as women and non-binary individuals.
FSN offers three other recurring support groups open to the community. These are free and provide a chance to connect with and find support from others in similar familial circumstances.
