Childfree of Columbus

Reynoldsburg, OH

Childfree of Columbus
Childfree of Columbus gives those who do not have children and do not want children a place to hang out. This is not a politically or culturally targeted community group; just a place for those without children to make new friends and try to attend some fun events being hosted around the Columbus area. We'll have weekly events with the ability to host your own event at a designated location. Although we hold nothing against those who have children, we do not want children at any of our events. This group is mainly intended for childfree people; the views expressed by members may represent those ideas. **Community Events** Community Events allow our members to create their own MeetUp events with direct access to our members. Anything with a [Community] tag will indicate that the event is led by a member of our community, not necessarily the admin/mod team for Childfree of Columbus. Anyone who is a member can host Community Events, but there are a few requirements. 1. Must have participated in at least one event with the group. 2. Must be accessible on Discord for admin/mod team, or community members attending the events. 3. Event must be in a public place (concert, bar, etc). 4. You must list the date, time, location, title of event, and information about the event. The goal is to get people to show up and they feel more comfortable if you give them information. Interested in hosting your own event? Message us on Discord. **Communication** We use Discord to talk in real time to our members. We offer voting on events, suggestions, and the ability to make friends outside of the group. [You can find our discord channel by clicking here.](https://discord.gg/bVKQ6KYKH5) **Three-Strike Policy** We ask that if you are interested in an activity, to please only RSVP if you know you can make it. While we understand that emergencies and cancellations will always happen, we ask that you message us to let us know. If you RSVP and do not attend an event *three separate times* within a *three month span* without any communication, you will be removed from the group. It takes a good amount of effort to plan these group events and we want to make sure we're offering the best events possible for those that want to attend.

Mount Vernon Recovery from Religion Meetup Group

Mount Vernon, OH

Mount Vernon Recovery from  Religion Meetup Group
Doubt your beliefs? Have questions about changing or leaving your faith? You are not alone. We are here to help. Learning how to live after questions, doubts, and changing beliefs is a journey. We at Recovering from Religion are intimately familiar with this path and are here to help you to cross that bridge. Our mission is to provide hope, healing, and support to those struggling with doubt or non-belief, and to those who suffer from harm related to religion. The primary focus of a Recovering From Religion support group is to provide ongoing peer support to individuals as they let go of their religious beliefs. This transitional period is an process that can result in a range of emotions, as well as a ripple effect of consequences throughout an individual’s life. As such the support meetings are safe and anonymous places to express these doubts, fears, and experiences without biased feedback or proselytizing. These groups are free, small group style meetings. No professional therapist is present, group leaders are volunteers trained in peer support. Attendees are not required to give a real name or show their faces on camera, although some do. Attendees will be invited, but not required, to talk about themselves and their experiences. Be aware that trolls sometimes appear. The group leader will make every effort to eject anyone behaving badly as quickly as possible. For safety, we recommend that attendees do not display their full names and do not give identifying details about themselves. Extra Support: RfR has an immense database of well-curated digital resources collected on all topics related to doubt, non-belief, and transition out of religion. www.recoveringfromreligion.org/resources If you find you need to talk with someone before the meeting date, RfR has a Helpline with phone and online chat for that express purpose. Go to www.recoveringfromreligion.org to find the phone number for your area or to chat online. If you’re seeking professional help, we can offer the Secular Therapy Project to provide options to connect with a professional therapist. All therapists have been thoroughly vetted by our organization and offer only evidence-based and non-religious treatment. Connect with them at www.seculartherapy.org.
