what you get
- Weekly or biweekly meetings (virtual, with occasional in-person cohorts where available).
- Peer-led and clinician-facilitated formats—you’ll choose what fits.
- Focused topics: stress & sleep, court prep, family communication, reentry routines, job search momentum, boundaries, and more.
- Practical tools you can use immediately (scripts, checklists, micro-habits).
- Warm accountability so your next steps actually happen.
why this works
- Shared experience: Hearing from people a few steps ahead makes the path feel possible.
- Skilled facilitation: Sessions follow a clear structure (check-ins, topic, tools, next steps).
- Action + care: Each meeting blends emotional support with simple, doable actions.
*Note: Groups are not therapy, but they complement Therapy Resources and Mentorship.
how it works
1. Apply once (link below) – Share your stage (investigation, pre-trial, sentencing, inside,
reentry) and we will get back to you.
2. Get matched – We place you in a group that fits your schedule and goals (and we can
switch you if needed).
3. Join sessions – 60–75 minutes, guided conversation + practical takeaways.
4. Stay supported – Optional check-ins between meetings and referrals to SCS.
who it's for
Individuals at any stage — investigation, pre-trial, sentencing, incarceration prep, or reentry.
First-time or white-collar defendants who want steady guidance and peers who understand the context.
Anyone overwhelmed by mixed advice who wants one grounded space to plan, reflect, and keep momentum.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
- Lower daily stress and fewer "spiral" days.
- Clearer communication with family, counsel, and employers.
- More follow-through on court, reentry, and job steps.
- A real network—people who’ve been there and want you to succeed.
Support Groups link tightly with Mentorship, Therapy Resources, Employment Resources, and Financial Services—so your week has both community and a plan. Contact us to get matched.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Helen
Therapy, Support Group & Career Coaching
"From the first call, I felt understood and encouraged. Adam and his team were so easy to work with, approachable, respectful, and genuinely invested in my future. I felt zero judgment, only support and a clear path forward."
Nadia
Therapy, Support Group & Mentor Support
"I came to SCS feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Therapy helped me make sense of what I'd been carrying; the support group reminded me I wasn’t alone; and my mentor walked me through every step of rebuilding my resume and interviewing with confidence. Today I have a job I’m proud of and a community I can lean on. SCS didn’t just point me forward, they walked with me."
Jeff
Therapy, Support Group & Career Coaching
“Before SCS, every application felt like it vanished into a void. Adam, Natalia, and my HR mentor, Tatondra, offered steady, human guidance that cut through the noise and helped me move with clarity. For the first time, I had human help in my corner instead of trying to figure it all out alone.”
