Peer support groups

Navigating grief or trauma can feel like a solo adventure:

You are not alone.


SOAR facilitates peer support groups for those impacted by

outdoor trauma. To build connections, we create groups

based on common experiences.

  • Partners’ Group

    • For those who have lost a partner to an outdoor accident but were not on the scene. Beginning Fall 2026.

    Parents’ Group

    • For those who have lost a child to an outdoor trauma. Ongoing.

    Trauma Group

    • For people who’ve survived an outdoor incident where another person perished. Beginning in Fall 2026.

    Injury Group

    • For those who’ve sustained an injury while skiing, biking, climbing, boating, etc. This includes individuals whose lives have been temporarily or permanently altered by injury.

    Siblings’ Group

    • For those who have lost a sibling to an outdoor accident. Ongoing. Next meeting: August 26th, 2026.

    Professionals’ Group

    • For those who have experienced a traumatic event or stress injuries—on or off the job—related to their professional field.
