STAR was created by secular families for secular families. We wanted a positive environment to live our own truths without judgement, without fear of retaliation, and real support without religion. Like don’t pray for me, but make me a sandwich type of support when your family is dealing with good or bad situations. Our purpose is to be a support group, friendship circle, and positive place to be where you feel comfortable to be your authentic self. We all have issues in life and we are finding that we can deal with them more effectively with a positive, supportive group of people who truly care, and we can do it without any god.
