Herpes support group
Real Support. Real People. Real Presence
Living with herpes can suck, especially if you’re trying to do it alone. Our weekly virtual support groups are intentionally structured spaces where people with herpes come together to process stigma, share experiences, and move forward in community. While there is a men’s group and a women’s group, these are both facilitated by Courtney Brame.
These are not drop-in venting spaces. They’re facilitated with care, using a yoga-informed approach to help you access what you need, whether that’s reflection, conversation, breathing, guided movement, or simply being witnessed.
What to Expect
Yoga-informed facilitation focused on emotional presence, self-regulation, and reflection
Structured space for sharing, journaling, group discussion, and light Yoga practices
Community connection with people who “get it,” with presence
Clear boundaries to ensure everyone feels heard and respected
These groups are for people who are ready to explore healing in community, not just vent.
Support Group Schedule
1st & 3rd Mondays @ 7:30pm ET: Women’s Group
2nd & 4th Mondays @ 7:30pm ET: Men’s Group
All attendees are required to be vetted through a 1-on-1 support call before joining a group. This allows us to maintain the safety, rhythm, and integrity of the space.
How to Join
Step 1: Book a 1-on-1 Support Call
Before attending your first group, you must complete a private support call with Courtney Brame (SPFPP founder and facilitator). This ensures the group is a good fit for your needs and intentions.
Step 2: Make a Donation ($5 minimum)
These groups are donation-based with a required minimum of $5 to attend. Your contribution helps sustain this community and makes support accessible to others.
Step 3: Get Added to the Mailing List
Once vetted, you’ll receive regular group updates and links to join upcoming sessions. You can remove yourself at any time if you feel this no longer serves you or you’re ready to move on.
Why This Space Exists
Herpes is common, but the stigma around it can distort your self-worth, identity, and relationships. These groups exist to help you reconnect to your sense of self, and be witnessed by others walking a similar path.
Important Note
These groups are not therapy or a crisis space. If you are in immediate danger or experiencing a mental health emergency, please contact a licensed professional or call 911.
