Why a Support Group?

“A sense of hope is knowing that your present moment has meaning.”   -   Robert Randall    

Each type of support group has its own advantages and disadvantages.  You may find that you prefer a structured, moderated group.  Or you may feel more at ease meeting less formally with a small group of people.  If you’re uncomfortable about sharing personal information with a group of people you don’t know, of any size, consider attending one meeting and listening, rather than talking.  If you decide to take part in a group, try it out a few times.  If you don’t find it useful or comfortable, you don’t have to continue. You may have to experiment with different kinds of support groups before you find the one that meets your needs.  To be continued…….
