Together Under the Crown

A support circle for mothers navigating children’s—primarily adult children’s—mental health challenges

There are journeys you don’t choose, only find yourself on. Loving a child who struggles with mental illness—especially in adulthood—can be isolating, exhausting, and emotionally complex. Together Under the Crown exists so mothers do not have to navigate this terrain alone.

This is a weekly virtual support group created by Queens of the Desert for mothers supporting children with mental health disorders, including (but not limited to) bipolar disorder, narcissistic traits, and other personality disorders that make healthy relationships difficult to sustain.

Here, you are met with understanding—not explanations, not judgment. We speak the same language because we live this reality too.

What This Group Is

Together Under the Crown is a confidential, peer-supported space grounded in lived experience, compassion, and practical guidance. Our team members are mothers and caregivers who are actively navigating these challenges themselves, bringing a deeply human, first-hand perspective to every conversation.

In addition, this group is supported by over 15 years of professional case management experience, allowing us to help participants think strategically about boundaries, communication, resources, and self-preservation while honoring the emotional weight of motherhood.

This is not therapy and does not replace professional mental health treatment. It is support for you—the mother who has been carrying too much for too long.

Who This Group Is For

This support group is designed for mothers who:

Have children, primarily adult children, living with mental illness
Are struggling to maintain healthy relationships due to behavioral or personality-related challenges
Feel emotionally drained, isolated, or misunderstood
Need support setting and maintaining boundaries without guilt
Want practical coping strategies alongside emotional support
Are seeking guidance from women who truly understand this journey

You do not need to have all the answers. You only need to show up.

What We Offer

Participants in Together Under the Crown can expect:

Weekly virtual group meetings (start date and time to be announced)
A safe, confidential, and judgment-free environment
Peer support rooted in lived experience
Guidance on boundary-setting and self-protection
Practical coping skills for stress, grief, and emotional fatigue
Emotional validation and shared understanding
Case management–informed insight to help navigate complex situations

Our Goals

The purpose of this group is to:

Reduce isolation among mothers of children with mental illness
Provide tools to support emotional regulation and resilience
