Why we do what we do –(Our Vision)-
We are here to share and encourage you to share what most prefer not to speak about, the aftermath of trauma. We are building a community of people that are living the same reality and struggles in a stigmatized mental health society. We are here to support one another, through compassion, understanding and humanity. We are the Round Table, where people from all over the city, can unite at one table and share their grief, struggles and strength and continue to heal with a little more support and understanding, from your fellow NY neighbors. You are not alone and we want you to know this. We are the bridge from one survivor to another, whether it is a story of suicide, Domestic Violence, Drug abuse, Homelessness, we get you and so do many of your fellow neighbors, this is where we bridge the silence and come together to heal.

FAQ’S
Due to COVID19 We are currently all virtual - All Round Table Talk parties will meet on zoom instead of in person. You are welcome to attend with your favorite non alcoholic drink and snack to keep our dinner vibe going.
This is my first Round Table Talk meet up, what should I expect?
You will be matched to a group that best matches your enrollment questionnaire. once you have been admitted to your zoom meeting, you will be greeted by other fellow New Yorkers, that are ready to talk and share their related experiences. It is a safe and casual space, for you to engage in conversation with other fellow survivors. We will meet for 1 hour — weekly at the same time and day.
I’m worried that all we will talk about is grief and loss? Wont this just bring me down?
At Round Table Talk meet ups, participants will share difficult times as well as uplifting stories and most importantly what is working for them during this journey. Being able to share something in common with others is often more uplifting than depressing, no matter what the story is.
Will all hosts be mental health professionals?
No, all our hosts will not be mental health professionals as we want this space to be therapeutic in terms of community healing and not a psychotherapy session. However all our hosts are trained and highly understanding of post trauma struggles, some of our hosts are survivors themselves.
What should I do if I feel uncomfortable during a gathering?
Although our Hosts are trained to guide the gatherings and monitor any inappropriate behavior, we may not always notice that something may have made you uncomfortable.
If this is the case, you can message the host privately and/or are welcome to step out of the virtual meeting and we will follow up with an email to discuss how we can best remedy the situation.
At Round Table Talk, we strive for 100% communal acceptance, kindness, equality, within a non-judgmental space.
How do I Join? And What are the fees?
You simply join by filling out a questionnaire and enrollment form, we will then send you an email with available dinner spaces times/days. Once you have chosen the time and day, we will follow up with your meeting link. *Round Table Talk is absolutely free to partake in, however we do ask that you pay a one time enrollment fee of $10 p/year. We believe that mental health support should be accessible to all.
Can I join Round Table Talk meet up, if I missed the first few gatherings?
Yes, you may join at anytime as long as the group has not been capped to its maximum allowance. We try to keep our meet ups to under 12 participants, in order to keep the conversation intimate, as we want all of our members to be heard. We all have other obligations and will have to miss a dinner or two but we do ask that you miss as little as possible, in order to allow for progress in your journey to better mental health and to not disrupt the groups flow. We do ask that you email your Host prior to the meeting, if you will not be present.
