Support your People. 

Retain your Talent.


Many of your employees are managing a chronic illness, often quietly. Without the right support, they may struggle to balance their health and their work, and you risk losing skilled, committed people.

You care about your people. But good intentions alone aren’t enough. Meaningful support takes knowledge, space, and the right tools.

That’s the gap I help organizations close.

My sessions give employees with chronic illness a place to learn, connect with others who share their experiences, and feel truly validated, supported, included, and empowered to participate fully at work.

The result: 

  • Stronger retention: Help valued employees stay and grow, rather than burn out or leave.
  • Better morale: Show your people that their well-being matters in concrete ways.
  • A more inclusive culture: Build understanding of chronic illness across your workplace.
  • Support that complements HR: Offer employees a confidential, peer-informed space alongside your existing programs and benefits.

Common Ground: Peer Support for Navigating Work with Chronic Illness

6-week program

For employees living with a chronic illness, work can feel isolating, especially when colleagues and managers don’t fully understand what they’re managing. Common Ground brings these employees together with peers who do.

Over six weeks, participants meet in small groups to share experiences, talk openly about the challenges of balancing health and work, and learn from one another’s strategies. An experienced facilitator leads each session and keeps the conversation supportive and focused.

Together, participants explore topics such as disclosure, energy and pacing, setting boundaries, and staying connected to their career goals. Most importantly, the group gives employees a space to be honest about their experience and feel seen, heard, and validated.

Participants leave with practical insights, a stronger sense of connection, and the reassurance that they are not navigating this alone. For your organization, that means employees who feel more supported, more engaged, and better equipped to stay and grow in their roles.
