SOUTH FLORIDA Chapter Peer Groups
Peer groups are a members-only benefit.
TTN Peer Groups are limited to 8-12 participants and offer small interactive settings formembers to provide support to one another on transition issues, to build networks,
and/or pursue special interests. They offer opportunities for small group discussions
and conversations about issues that women over 50 often encounter.
Peer group locations are listed to assist members
but do not restrict attendance by member residence location.
Non-members may attend a peer group once before joining TTN.
Would you like to be part of a small group of women who meet regularly in your area to discuss the transitions and issues in your life with other supportive women?
