Dating With a Diagnosis©
🌟Welcome to Dating With a Diagnosis🌟
"I started DWAD as a result of my personal journey through failed relationships and missed life opportunities due to my mental health challenges. These challenges made it difficult for me to establish healthy boundaries with friends, family, and partners, stunting my social growth. Over time, I recognized that I was the common thread in these struggles. Instead of blaming others, I chose to focus on changing myself, realizing that personal growth was within my control. Through this project, I hope to share my experiences and offer support to those who, like me, have found it difficult to ask for help." -Ziona
Dating With a Diagnosis © (DWAD) is a peer-led, recovery-oriented project designed for individuals navigating mental health challenges and/or addiction recovery while learning how to build healthier relationships.
The word “dating” is used loosely and intentionally. While romantic relationships are part of the conversation, DWAD focuses more broadly on relationship dynamics—including relationships with self, family, friends, partners, and community—while actively engaged in recovery.
DWAD supports participants in applying recovery-oriented tools to real-life relationship experiences. These tools include, but are not limited to:
• DRA (Decision-Making & Relationship Awareness) steps
• SMART Goals
• Effective communication skills
• Boundary-setting practices
• CBT/DBT tools
• Law of Attraction
Rather than offering surface-level dating advice, DWAD emphasizes self-awareness, personal responsibility, and intentional growth. Through storytelling, reflection, peer dialogue, and practical tools, participants learn how to navigate relationships without abandoning their recovery—or themselves.
Whether you are single, partnered, healing, rebuilding trust, or redefining what connection looks like in your life, Dating With a Diagnosis © meets you where you are and supports you in moving forward with clarity, integrity, and intention.

"It's Complicated" Support Group
“I didn’t come to ‘It’s Complicated’ because I had all the answers. I came because I was tired of repeating the same patterns in my relationships and not understanding why. What I found here wasn’t advice or judgment, but space. Space to talk, listen, reflect, and be honest with myself.” -Anonymous
“This group helped me slow down and look at my role in my relationships without shame. I learned how my mental health, boundaries, expectations, and communication style all connect. No one told me what to do or who to be with; instead, I was encouraged to think, feel, and decide for myself.” -Anonymous
“What makes ‘It’s Complicated’ different is that it feels real. People can share or pass, laugh or cry, and show up exactly as they are. It’s not about fixing anyone—it’s about understanding yourself better so you can show up differently in your relationships.” -Anonymous
“I leave each session feeling more aware, grounded, and less alone. This group reminds me that healing doesn’t happen in isolation and that growth can happen through honest conversation.” -Anonymous
