[QUOTE="ctmom05, post: 99059, member: 2901"] <span style='font-family: Courier New'>Over the years of being in the trenches of [i]a place like this[/i], I can see that one person reaching out to another really works! Face to face groups have been an asset for me, as well. I am not sure how many of you have tried something within your own community; but what kinds of things kept you going back to a group? I suppose another question might be what things would keep you from returning? I found that being part of a group that: met regularly had a skilled facilitator had guest speakers once in a while met at a time that was convenient for me... .....offered the things listed above kept me interested, whereas one that was as out of control as my kids and centered on negativity grew old real fast, as did a group that had no structure. Another thing helped things gel was the facilitator's approach.</span> [/QUOTE]
