A Support Group for Federal Employees and Families Navigating Uncertainty

When the government shuts down, life doesn’t pause — but paychecks do. The waiting, the worry, and the “not knowing” can take an emotional toll that few truly understand. Together Through the Shutdown is a safe, supportive space designed for federal employees and their loved ones who are navigating the stress, uncertainty, and emotional weight of the current government shutdown.

This group offers more than just a place to talk — it’s a place to breathe, connect, and rebuild resilience in community with others who understand what you’re going through. Each week, we focus on grounding practices, emotional regulation, and mutual support. Participants will learn tools to manage anxiety, communicate effectively under stress, and maintain balance when life feels unpredictable.

Whether you’re facing financial strain, struggling with isolation, or simply missing the sense of purpose your work brings, this group reminds you that you are not alone. Together, we’ll hold space for the frustration and fear — while also making room for hope, strength, and compassion.
