The Migraine Network is built by patients, for patients. As we grow, the work grows too. Tell us how you want to show up.

The migraine community deserves something better than what currently exists. We’re building it, not as a brand, not as a non-profit machine, but as a community that actually understands what it’s like to live with this disease.
That work needs you.
Every person who steps up, to facilitate a support group, moderate our community spaces, lend a specialty skill, becomes a builder of the space we’re creating together. This isn’t helping us run our organization. This is stepping into co-ownership of a migraine community built by the people who live it.
We work directly with the people we work with. We only reach out when we have something real to invite you to. And the work you do shows up in how this community evolves.
The next chapter of migraine care, community, and advocacy gets written by the people who show up now. Help us write it.
Pick what fits your time, your energy, and what you bring.
What it is
A support group leader is a trained peer facilitator, someone who lives with migraine and guides a small, virtual group through honest conversation. You're not a therapist or a medical expert; you're the person who gets it, holding space so no one has to navigate migraine alone.
What you’d do
Lead monthly virtual support group sessions for patients and caregivers. You’ll go through a required training program before you facilitate your first group.
What a session looks like
Virtual video calls, small groups (around 6–8 people), about 60 minutes each. Camera optional, for you and for members. Open to patients and the people who care for them.
A peer role, not a clinical one
You're holding space, not giving medical advice. We give you a facilitation framework and conversation guides so you're never winging it, plus clear resources for the rare moment someone needs more help than a group can give.
Training
August 2026 cohort, 10 spots open. Training is 4 hours total, split across 2 days.
Time commitment after training
We ask leaders to commit to at least one group a month, that consistency is what makes a group feel like home. Beyond that, you set the pace: lead as many sessions as your schedule and energy allow. If you ever need a break, we'll help cover your group.
Support you’ll get
You're never doing this alone. You'll have a community of fellow facilitators, ready-to-use session guides, and a point person at The Migraine Network to lean on whenever you need it.
What we look for
Lived experience with migraine. The ability to hold space for others without needing to fix everything. Reliability. Availability to attend the full August 2026 training.
Required
Complete training before leading your first group. Limited to 10 applicants for the August cohort.
What you’d do
Help keep our online community spaces healthy and welcoming. Welcome new members, support good conversations, flag issues that need attention, redirect bad-faith posts.
Time commitment
Variable, typically 1–3 hours per week as the community grows.
What we look for
Active engagement in our Facebook group or other community spaces. Calm under pressure. Genuine care for the community.
3 questions, ~4 minutes. We’ll be in touch when there’s something real to invite you to.
You'll get a confirmation email immediately so you know it came through.
A role opens up. A training cohort forms. A project kicks off. We email or message you personally with the details.
No pressure, no guilt if it's not. Your time and energy are precious, and we want this to be sustainable for you.
