Starting/Running Support Groups is a
booklet comprised of individual fact sheets which cover all
aspects of establishing a support group for your organization or
peers. Each year, more and more people are turning to self-help
groups seeking others who have had similar experiences, will
listen, and truly understand. And, as society becomes more
impersonal and modern day stresses increase, this trend will
continue.
This booklet provides complete, detailed
information in a concise, bulleted format and includes examples
on how to begin, promote, and run groups of various sizes and
formats, how to recognize and handle potential problems, when to
refer, and other facts you need to know to establish a successful
group. Contents include the following:
