Question 1

I am a stay-at-home mom and my kid is disabled/neurodistinct/chronically ill. Is this for me?

Accepted Answer

No. While I FULLY agree that being a stay-at-home mom is more than a full-time job, this is not the type of support for you. We focus on managing relationships with coworkers, which wouldn’t be applicable to you. I encourage you to find a group specific to parents.

Question 2

I am in between jobs and want to prepare for my next job. Is this for me?

Accepted Answer

No. This group will not focus on interview skills and is specifically designed to support people who are currently part of a work team. I encourage you to visit chronicallycapable.org, ndcc.simplyhire.com, or a local recruiter that helps people with your condition develop skills for employment.

Question 3

I am not currently working, but I could really use support in managing my time. Is this for me?

Accepted Answer

No. While I absolutely would love to support you, we’ll be focusing on time and energy management as it relates specifically to the workplace. I encourage you to find another program that is better suited for you.

Question 4

When/where are the support group sessions held?

Accepted Answer

The support group sessions are virtual, so that you can learn from and connect with people coming from different companies, industries, and time zones. Group sessions are the 4th Wednesday of every month from 12-1pm MST.

Question 5

I am not available during the support group time. Is there another group outside of business hours?

Accepted Answer

At this time, there is not. We chose this time hoping that most people would be able to join over their lunch hour. If you would like an email template to request time off from your employer or to request another group time, please reach out to jenn@theworkingwell.us and I’d be happy to help.

Question 6

I want to attend the group, but I'm worried someone from my company will find out.

Accepted Answer

In order to be a part of the group, all members must agree to keep identifying information in the group confidential. We hope that your attendance will give you the confidence you need to share your needs openly with your supervisor and peers at work, although we will never pressure you to do so.

Question 7

I want to attend, but what if someone else from my company is in it? Won't that be awkward?

Accepted Answer

Actually, that would be an amazing opportunity to connect with your coworker on a new and unique human level. It would be great to get an ally in your company from attending this group together. Of course, if this makes you uncomfortable, please reach out and we’ll discuss alternative options.

Question 8

Is this for managers or employees?

Accepted Answer

This group is for everyone. No matter what your title is, you’re a person, and all people need support. It would be great if you attended this group with people of all titles from your organization.
