Weekly Peer Support Group Updates 3/21/2025

At WAVES, we’re fostering personal growth through our weekly Peer Support Groups. Currently, we have three active groups, each focusing on different aspects of self-awareness and healing.

One group, led by Yiqi & Linda, is focused on Parent Support, where participants explore relationships and self-awareness. Recently, they discussed intergenerational family dynamics and how family traits and beliefs are passed down. It’s a space for participants to reflect on their upbringing and its impact on their current relationships.

Another group, led by Claire, focuses on Family Ties and explores into “Intergenerational Transmission.” Participants are exploring how family scripts and inherited behaviors shape their lives, with discussions about recognizing breakthroughs and shifting family patterns. It’s a powerful journey of self-awareness and personal growth.

Lastly, Ann’s group has been reflecting on the role of family in shaping personal development. Participants shared stories from their own family experiences, looking at how family environments, whether strict or nurturing, affect our growth and sense of self. They also discussed the importance of recognizing and healing from the wounds created by our families of origin, and how to consciously avoid passing on negative patterns to the next generation.

These weekly groups are an essential part of WAVES’ mission to support sustainable growth and emotional well-being. Through deep conversations and shared experiences, participants are learning to grow, heal, and make meaningful changes in their lives.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to support each other in this journey!
