This link is focused on COVID because of the newness of Monkey Pox but we do feel it’s helpful if you’re in need

Monkeypox is on the rise across the country, and infection with the virus can be physically painful, incredibly isolating, and emotionally traumatic. As one of the only support groups for individuals coping with Monkeypox, this group will combat loneliness by creating a community space to share experiences, combat societal stigma and shame, and pool resources and information.

Sessions take place over Zoom on Mondays from 7:30PM-8:30PM eastern//6:30PM-7:30PM central//4:30-5:30PM pacific

The initial step to get connected is to contact us at the form here and we will reach out to you to schedule a brief introductory call to get to know you and talk about your hopes for the group.

This group is free of charge and co-led by a Los Angeles based therapist, Jake Weinraub, LMFT.
