Connect & Reset Womens’ Group

A 10-Week Women's Group to
Help You Breathe Again, Get Clear, and
Feel Like Yourself

10 Weeks. 12 Women. One powerful reset.
Beginning Saturday January 17th • 11am–12:30pm
In-person at Francis Psychotherapy, Pickering

Life has been… a lot.
Between parenting, relationships, work, aging parents,
your bank account giving you side-eye, and the constant pressure to “hold it together,”
it’s no wonder so many women are running on empty.

Connect & Reset is your weekly pause.
Your place to breathe, share, learn, laugh, and feel less alone.
Your space to get grounded again — with guidance, community, and gentle accountability.

Led by Roxanne Francis, MSW, RSW with frequent guest experts.

Is This You?

You’re juggling all the things, and somewhere along the line, you got lost in the shuffle. You want:

  • A space where you don’t have to be strong all the time

  • Tools to reduce the overwhelm

  • Emotional regularity instead of emotional whiplash

  • A reset that feels doable, supportive, and structured

  • Connection with other women who “get it,” not just women who smile and struggle quietly

If that sounds about right, sis… this group was designed for you.

You’ll Walk Away With

A calmer nervous system and fewer “I can’t do this today” moments

  • Emotional tools you can actually use

  • More clarity, structure, and direction

  • Support from a group of like-minded women

  • A sense of connection instead of the lonely hustle

  • Permission to prioritize you again

This is the reset your spirit has been whispering for.

    • How to keep your calm while parenting your children (of different ages).

    • Undoing the unhelpful patterns that you might have learned from your own parents.

    • Raising children in today’s day and age.

    • And more.

  • Your finances can impact your mental health. We carry so much shame and guilt about our debt, spending habits, and retail therapy. We will work through all of it!

  • I heard someone say “parenting is ghetto” and I agree!! It’s a lot, and sometimes it seems like there’s no right answer. What’s the middle ground between gentle parenting and threatening bodily harm? We’re going to find it together.

  • Do you have a man, a son, a father or a brother in your life that you care deeply about? How are you impacted by your relationship with them? We will talk about how you can support them, and how their energy is completely different from yours. Get the tools you need to make that relationship thrive.

  • Everyone seems to be talking about this. But who is giving you REAL tools to help manage the symptoms in your life? Even if this is not your challenge, learning these tools can help you support your loved ones.

Why women love groups like this:

(Not testimonials — just patterns we notice.)

  • They feel less alone for the first time in a long time

  • They learn practical skills they can use immediately

  • They feel grounded instead of overwhelmed

  • They build connections far beyond the 10 weeks

  • They finally give themselves permission to slow down

Women don’t just walk away with tools… they walk away changed.

FAQs

  • Most plans that cover Social Worker (MSW) services will reimburse this group. You can confirm with your insurance provider.

  • While confidentiality will be a core value of our group, you share only what feels safe. The group is supportive, not pushy.

  • Absolutely. The space is warm, gentle, and designed to help you open up at your own pace.

  • You’re still responsible for the weekly fee. Materials or reflections can be provided, (and you can even borrow notes from a group member) but sessions themselves are not recorded.

  • It’s a bit of a blend — grounded in therapeutic principles with coaching structure and guidance.
