Support Groups

This is an alphabetical listing of the support groups by city and some county listings.  If you are in a sparsely populated county, check under the name of the biggest town of that county and next check under that county name.  If you live in a suburb of a large metropolitan area, check under the major regional areas first, then check under the name of your specific town that is attached to the larger city. 

Some of these support groups accept only Christians and may require a statement of faith; some accept people of all faiths but are lead by Christians; and some are secular groups.  When looking for a support group, before you make a year long commitment and join, ask for their intro pack, visit them, go to park day to see if you like the people.  Support groups have different activities and requirements.  They are as diverse as the homeschool population, with different styles of education as their preference.  So look around until you can find one that *fits* your family. 

You can also go online to ask questions about different support groups, check out the online discussion link.  Some groups are only listed by their online discussion groups.  Feel free to join the list and ask your questions before going to a meeting or park day.

For a complete listing of Texas Yahoo Groups, visit Karen's Site  If your support group is not listed, just drop us a  note at Add a Support Group  We do ask that you provide a reciprocal link on one of your pages.  If you don't have a website, we offer a Free Web Page for Support Groups.
