7 Years of Support Group Meetings

We are a community of individuals, families and groups with white collar justice issues who have a desire to take responsibility for our actions and the wreckage we caused, make amends, and move forward in new way of life centered on hope, care, kindness, compassion, tolerance and empathy. Our experience shows us that many of us are suffering in silence with shame, remorse, and deep regret. Many of us have been stigmatized by our own families and friends, and by our former business relationships. Our goal is to learn, grow and evolve into a new spiritual way of life and to reach out in service to others.

Since 2016, over 650 Fellow Travelers have participated in our White Collar Support Group meetings on Zoom on Mondays at 7 pm ET, 6 pm CT, 5 pm MT, 4 pm PT. On March 6, 2023 we celebrated our 350th weekly meeting. All agree this has been a valuable, important experience in which everyone feels less alone, and gratified in the opportunity to talk about things and share critical, timely information in a safe space only we could understand. Please join us this Monday or sometime soon.

And, we have a 24/7 Slack chat group (especially helpful if you need a friend in the middle of the night), a white collar job and career board, peer and mentoring support, a Tuesday Night Speaker Series open to family and friends, a newsletter, social media channels and our widely-read blog with over ten years of important content, news and events relevant to our community, advocacy initiatives, partnerships with other nonprofits, access to a wide array of resources, and much, much more. All freely offered on a volunteer basis by our group members at no cost to you and your family!

Please feel free to contact us and join our community today. We look forward to being with you.

Prayers, blessings and לשלום for a peaceful week.
