 I am  offering one time online small group events which will involve teaching  and interaction with others through zoom. In the future, I will offer Christian Life Coaching Support groups for a variety of specialized needs in the Christian Community where there is an identified topic and need for healing individuals, couples, and/or families within the Church.  Right now, I am first focusing on forming a Christian Men's Online Support group (the details of that group are described below).  Each single stand alone small  group event will be scheduled for 1 and 1/2 hours and the cost for each individual to attend the group will be $50, to be paid in advance, of attending a group event.  As of November 2023 and anytime thereafter as enough people express an interest in a group and make a commitment to attend I will facilitate the online teaching / small group interaction event.  The group(s) will be  scheduled in three different time slots all based on a EST zone.   Options for participation in a group are as follows:  Tuesday 6:30 am - 8:00 am EST; Wednesday 8:30 am - 10:00 am  EST:  Thursday 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm EST.   Knowing that that these are all stand alone one time online  teaching/ small group interaction events should make it easier for an individual to attend  making a one-time  adjustment in their work/home schedule for the date of the scheduled event.  You can attend the teaching / small group event from your work place as along as you set up privacy so that you are assured of confidentiality and that others will not interrupt you while attending the event.   Contact me if you are interested  in attending one of these events.  Specify what day of the week and time works for you (of the three options listed above). Once, I have  10 people wishing to attend one of those time slots for a group I will contact you  and firm up a specific date for all of the participants and get a commitment to attend on that day.  I will then collect $50 payment (via credit card) from each person who has committed to attend the group event.  This payment is non-refundable unless for some reason I have to cancel a group and in which case I  will refund you the amount you paid.   The first step in signing up (or inquiring about an event) would be to email me at drschulz@integrativecareohio.com  or use the contact me tab located in the menu at the top of this page.  Please leave me a name (you may choose if you like to only use your first name), an email, and a phone number to reach you at.  This information will be kept confidential.

If attending an online support group does not work for you.  I am also available to provide individual (couple or family)  life coaching sessions online for $120 per session.  To learn more about Life Coaching or to schedule a Life Coaching appointment go to  https://www.emapdrschulz.com/life-coaching  

                                 Current online Small Group Event(s) being offered

This group is offered to anyone in the United States.  It is uniquely designed for men seeking anonymity not wanting others from their local  church knowing they are attending a group meeting. People attending the  group can virtually be anyone in the United States  You can use a first  name and not identify your last name.  You can choose to mute the video  and just use audio.  Each group meeting is scheduled as a one-time  event scheduled for 1 hour and 30 minutes.  The  group will be facilitated by George O. Schulz, Ph.D who has over 40  years of professionally working with people dealing with struggles in  life.  The group will involve both teaching and provide an opportunity  for interaction with others for support and encouragement.  To offer an  event 10 men are needed to commit to attending a group event (group size  will be capped at 15 attendees).  The cost of the group is $50.  It is  designed to address difficult personal issues that as men they are  struggling with and  who are  trying to follow Christ but know they have  lost their way and have fallen short.  This group is not for men who  feel their life is going well - this is a group for men who feel  defeated and lost, who desire to follow Christ but knowing they are not.  

If you know of another support group offered through a church or program in the Christian community to help in "healing the Church" please share about that group and I will review the program offered and add it to the list of support groups here.   Each group must be Biblically based and be distinctively Christ centered.  You can contact me about a group being offered by emailing me directly at drschulz@integrativecareohio.com or use the contact tab  from the menu at the top of the page.
