SUPPORT GROUP: Dating with a disability (FRIDAYS 7PM CST- Starting Sept 18)
This is an 8 week support group.
Dating with a disability comes with conversations and situations that your non-disabled friends might not always get.
Dating With a Disability is a group specifically for single people with disabilities who are dating, thinking about dating, or want to feel more confident putting themselves out there.
This is not a couples or relationship group. It's a space to talk honestly about what it's like to navigate dating while living with a disability, with other people who actually understand the context.
Each session combines real group conversation, practical tools, guided discussions, and opportunities to learn from one another.
We'll Talk About Things Like:
Dating apps and creating a profile that actually feels like you
When, how, and whether to disclose your disability
Confidence and putting yourself out there
Fear of rejection
Figuring out whether someone is genuinely interested or just curious about your disability
Ableism, awkward comments, and dating red flags
Accessibility and planning dates
Asking for accommodations or help without feeling embarrassed
Boundaries and communicating what you need
Navigating independence, caregiving, and dating
Body image, attraction, intimacy, and vulnerability
Handling bad dates without letting them become evidence that dating "isn't for you"
Figuring out what you actually want in a partner
This Group May Be a Good Fit If You:
Are single and have a disability
Are actively dating or considering getting back into dating
Want to feel more confident putting yourself out there
Feel unsure about disability disclosure
Have anxiety around rejection or being judged
Have had frustrating or ableist dating experiences
Want help figuring out boundaries and communication
Have questions about accessibility, caregiving, intimacy, or asking for help while dating
Feel like your friends don't always understand the disability-specific parts of dating
Want a supportive space where you can talk about dating without having to explain disability first
