Parenting

Through Uncertainty

Process Group

Virtual Sessions Starting on 3/25

For DMV parents facing unprecedented disruption in today’s political climate, Kennedy Counseling Collective is here to support you.

We know that balancing family life during these chaotic times can be disorienting and overwhelming. That’s why we’re hosting a virtual weekly process group, led by licensed therapists and fellow parents Jamie Alongi and Aaron Severn, to share experiences with other parents in similar situations.

Over three months, connect with others who understand your unique challenges, explore coping tools to manage stress, and find stability for your family amidst shifting policies and uncertainty. Whether you’re experiencing job insecurity or the emotional toll of today’s political climate, know that you’re not alone.
