Support Groups
Mindspring’s support groups provide participants with the opportunity to connect with others who are experiencing similar challenges, develop lasting friendships, strengthen community networks, and reduce isolation.Community members are welcome to join at any time during the life of a support group and registration is not required.
Mindspring is currently conducting a survey to gather insights related to preferences for support group meetings. Anyone and everyone can fill out this survey. Whether you are a current participant or someone interested in attending a support group, your opinion matters. You do NOT have to be local to Des Moines, Iowa to fill out the survey.
