Connect with the NGNS Community. While some meetings are available to members only, many of our meetings are open to everyone. Please find details and links to our open meetings below.
Meetings Provide Support & Build Community
Click on the meeting title on the right to expand the contents and find a link to all OPEN meetings! Our meetings take place on Discord. If you don’t have the software installed already, you’ll be prompted to install it.
Share your experiences, or listen in to those of others. We’re a community of open-minded and (hopefully!) helpful individuals with a common goal: recovery.
While many meetings are reserved for members only, we accommodate everyone at several open meetings every week! Please check out the meeting list here for more details and direct links to open meetings.
PARTNER meetings are meetings that are hosted by NGNS members but are on non-NGNS platforms. As such, the rules of those individual communities apply.

WEDNESDAYS @ 12:00pm ET – U_n_U @ NGNS (click to get an invite)
Welcome to U_n_U @ NGNS, a zero-emotional-labor peer space designed for those carrying the “Double Loop”—the heavy lifting of managing mental health & recovery at the same time.
This is a “No-Fix” zone. We leave our toolboxes at the door and act only as witnesses. Whether you are riding a high, carrying a heavy burden, or navigating a recent slip, you are welcome exactly as you are. There is no unsolicited advice, no toxic positivity, and no requirement to wear an “I’m fine” mask. We are just here to hold the weight of it with you.
➢ If a participant is in crisis, or becomes activated, we will sit with them and support them according to their wants & needs.
Meeting Details & Logistics:
● The Vault: To protect the vulnerability of the space, the Zoom room opens 15 minutes before the start time and locks exactly 5 minutes after the hour. No late entries are permitted.
● Focus: Cameras are encouraged (but optional if it causes discomfort). Zoom text chat is disabled during the meeting to keep our focus 100% on the speaker.
● Chat will be enabled for the last few minutes of the meeting to share emails and any resources that are requested.
