Become a Tia
The helpers are out there. Families just need help finding them.
Tia’s Circle was built on the simple, radical belief that care should be easier to access—and that the people who know the most about support are the ones who’ve needed it themselves.
We are the Tias.
The aunties, neighbors, caregivers, and chosen family who show up.
We’ve sat at the kitchen table at midnight, Googling therapists and wondering who will really get it.
We’ve held the hands of kids through the messy middle.
We know the people who know the people.
And now, we’re coming together—zip code by zip code—to light the path for others.
What does a Tia Do?
A Tia is the auntie spirit, the trusted neighbor, the one who knows the good stuff and shares it freely.
As a Tia, you might:
🌱 Scout for Light
Tias help shine a light on family resources in their community— especially the ones that might otherwise go unseen.
✉️ Invite with Care
Personally invite trusted groups, programs, and providers to add their listings to Tia’s Circle.
🕊️ Lift Lived Wisdom
As a caregiver, educator, or community connector—share what’s been helpful, healing, or hopeful in your own family’s journey.
🚩 Help Keep It Safe
If something feels off — harmful, exclusionary, or outside of scope — you can flag it to the Tia’s Circle team. We’ll follow up directly.
🤝 Why It Matters
Families deserve care that fits. Support that feels good to receive. Not just the loudest options — but the most loving ones.
Your work as a Tia helps:
- Build trust
- Surface underrepresented supports
- Make healing more accessible & culturally relevant

Questions?
Here is what most Tias want to know before they join the circle.
Nope. You don’t need degrees or certifications—just lived experience, local wisdom, and a heart that wants to help.
It’s flexible. Some Tias lift up local resources a few times a month, others stay more actively involved. You decide what fits.
Not at all. You’ll have access to support from our team, resources to guide you, and a circle of fellow Tias walking the journey too.
That’s okay. Reach out. We’ll talk it through and walk alongside you—there’s no pressure, only invitation.
