Looking for connection, support, or just a space to share and grow with others who understand your journey? The Office of Benefits & Worklife and JHEAP, the Johns Hopkins Employee Assistance Program, host virtual networking groups where employees can meet peers, exchange resources, and build community around shared experiences. Whether you're starting your career, planning retirement, or caring for a loved one, there's a group for you.
Registrants are encouraged to attend all sessions or can choose the ones that fit their schedule. Registration is required and intended only for Johns Hopkins employees. To protect everyone's privacy, please keep discussions confidential and refrain from recording or taking photos. Some topics have a Microsoft Teams group for ongoing resource sharing. Email worklife@jhu.edu to request joining a team, suggest an idea for a new group, or ask questions.
The groups are open to everyone, and here are details about the topics they discuss.
