About this meeting
The Family Compass©: Support for Families Facing Mental Health Challenges is a warm, welcoming online support community for family members who love and care for someone experiencing mental health challenges or illness. When someone we love is struggling, we may carry worry, uncertainty, heartache, and questions we don't always know how to share. We want to be there for them, yet we, too, need understanding, encouragement, and a place to rest. You can love someone deeply without carrying everything alone. You can offer care without losing yourself. And you deserve tenderness and support, too. Together, we create a compassionate space to share our stories, feel heard without judgment, and draw wisdom from others who understand the joys and challenges of caregiving. Through shared experiences, helpful resources, practical tools for resilience and healthy boundaries, and gentle reflections of faith, we seek to restore balance and find renewed strength for the journey ahead.©
You are not alone. Your well-being matters.
Created and facilitated by Madonna A., Rev., Chaplain, M.Div., CSD, CADC, CPSS©
About the host
Blessings of deep peace be with you. I'm grateful you are here.
I am Madonna ~ mother, grandmother, teacher of beautiful things, encourager of spirit, story keeper, companion, and someone who has known both the unendurable and the quiet turn toward joy. " … The unendurable is the beginning of the curve of joy.”
I have spent many years with people carrying more than they believed they could, enduring the quiet exhaustion of simply trying to stay well. I am here as a peer who has walked the dark edges of sorrow and encountered sweet mercy. I have learned that healing often begins the moment someone’s story is met with kindness and belief. I hope to see you soon in my groups and in specialized one-to-one care and support.
If you would like a safe, confidential place to meet for specialized one-to-one support, I am accepting new connections. Please request to be added as a contact using the “Connect” button, and we can begin the conversation your soul has been yearning for. We can begin exactly where you are, at the pace your heart can hold. I know how heavy life can feel, and you don't have to face life's edges alone. We are held, even when we cannot feel it.
I walk this path as a believer who trusts the Light that dispels all darkness, knowing that Light arrives in beautiful, unexpected ways. The compassionate spiritual care I provide supports spiritual growth through faith-rooted soul care, recognizing that spiritual abuse and church hurt are very real for many. I am a Messianic Christian, coming from a long line of Indigenous healers with a living trust in our Creator, Sustainer, and Healer. “What delight comes to the one who follows God's ways.”
Deep peace,
Madonna

Motivation for help
I have been to the dark edges of deep sorrow and pain, and I have been brought to a sacred garden of joy and peace. My life is a story full of hope on this journey, and I’ve found that there is healing in the sharing our stories, more importantly, having our stories witnessed and believed is when the power of healing begins to arrive.
