Frequently Asked Questions
What is ForTheFamily?
ForTheFamily is a community-driven ecosystem designed to help families connect, find support, and build the village they need through meaningful relationships, enriching experiences, and shared resources.
We're rebuilding community through three core pillars:
- The Village (our private online community)
- Experiences (family-centered events and gatherings)
- Resources (tools, knowledge, and support for families)
Who is this community for?
ForTheFamily is for parents, caregivers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and anyone committed to building stronger families and stronger communities.
Whether you're married, single, co-parenting, raising children, supporting children, or simply passionate about community, you're welcome here.
What is The Village?
The Village is the members-only online community within the larger ForTheFamily ecosystem.
It's a private space where community-minded families can connect, build relationships, share resources, and support one another through various seasons of life.
Members of The Village also receive incentives like early access to all ForTheFamily events & experiences, discounted pricing, and exclusive offerings.
Is this only for moms?
No. Families thrive when they're supported by a village, and villages are built by many different people.
What kinds of events do you host?
Our events focus on connection, creativity, wellness, and community building. We aim to provide experiences that are enriching for the entire family, not just kids or just parents.
Examples may include:
- Workshops
- Community gatherings
- Future retreats and family experiences
As ForTheFamily grows, so will the variety of experiences we offer.
How much does it cost?
Monthly membership to The Village costs less than a cup of coffee. The membership fee helps us keep the space intentional, sustainable, ad-free, and protected from outside noise.
It also allows us to continue creating resources, events, and opportunities that strengthen the larger ForTheFamily ecosystem.
Public ForTheFamily events will have varying costs depending on the nature of the experience, including free community gatherings. Members of The Village will always receive at least 25% off public event pricing.
Accessibility matters deeply to us, so if cost creates a barrier, please don't hesitate to reach out.
What platform is The Village hosted on?
The Village is hosted on Discord, a platform designed for organized conversations and community connection.
No prior Discord experience is required. Clear setup instructions are provided after signup, and support is available if you need help getting settled.
Is this a therapy or medical support group?
No.
ForTheFamily is a peer-support community, not a replacement for therapy, counseling, legal advice, or medical care.
We encourage sharing experiences, offering encouragement, and learning from one another while seeking professional support when needed.
Is this space private?
Yes.
We take privacy seriously.
What's shared within the community stays within the community. We ask all members to respect one another's stories, experiences, and confidentiality.
What if I’m shy or not sure I’ll participate much?
That’s completely okay. Many members start by observing, reading and listening.
There's no pressure to perform, overshare, or always be active. This is a place to connect at your own pace.
How do I join?
Click Join the Village, choose your plan, and you’ll receive access instructions right after signing up. Or join our email list to stay tapped in with all of our public community offerings.
