POI/POF Group
POI Together Group
I started having symptoms of POI when I was 18 years old, but didn’t receive a proper diagnosis until my 30s. The diagnosis was devastating, the medical experience was, and continues to be, difficult, and the whole journey was profoundly isolating.
This past July, I created POI Together, a free, virtual peer-led support group for people diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Insufficiency. It’s a space o talk about the physical, emotional, relational, and existential experiences of living with POI.
I am a licensed therapist, and I share this because my professional training helps me create a safe, respectful space and guide our conversations with care. In this group, however, I participate as a peer who shares this diagnosis, not as a therapist. Through my work, I’ve seen how much healing can happen in a group. POI Together is a place to support one another, grieve, share resources, and heal.
POI Together is launching a new series of Monday meetings that will run from October through the end December. The group will meet on Zoom from 2:30pm to 4pm (Pacific Time) on the following dates:
- October 12, 19, 26
- November 2, 9, 23, 30
- December 7, 14, 21
Additionally, I’m excited to announce a second series of group meetings, designed to be more accessible to people in various time zones. This group will meet once a month between the months of October and December, from 6pm to 7:30pm (Pacific Time), on the following dates (all Thursdays):
- October 29
- November 19
- December 17
You are welcome to join one or both groups. Please complete THIS FORM and I will send you the Zoom link for each group that you select.
