New Peer Support Group
Saturday, I will be meeting with 2 or 3 other men to discuss starting a peer support group in my tome (Bradenton FL). I have had a free ad in the the local paper for almost 6 months now and finally have gotten some resopnse.
We will be meeting in a restaurant to discuss starting the group. I thought a public palce would feel safer for a first meeting even though I know it will limit what we are willing to say with the possibility of being overheard.
Although I have been wanting this for a long time, now I need to fiugre out what to do. I would appreciate any advice you all have about starting and continuing a support group without a therapist. Currently the only therapist run group in my town is during my working hours and is really more focused and young survivors who have had legal problems. It did help some, buit really wasn't what i was hoping for.
So whith that I will open the floor to the others here. I am looking forward to what you have to say.
Thank you in advance.
