How do i start a support group in my area?
Q. I'd like to start a support group for Children of Drug addicts and Alcoholics. I'm not totaly sure where to even start. I know theres a need in my area just for the fact that Meth use is VERY high in our area. We don't have a local YMCA. I live in a fairly small town ( about 20,000.) I don't have a lot of money. Where should I start?

A. I would get in touch with the nearest Alcoholic Anonymous. Ask them how you can go about setting it up, and could they help you, and with funds. And, you can just put up bulletins that one is starting up in the local area. Put it in the local newspaper as well.

How do I start my own support group?
Q. My daughter has been diagnosed multiple mental illnesess. She is a SI. Where I live there is no support group for SI. I would really like to start a group but have no idea how to go about it. Do I need to have a licensed therapist? How do I get the word out? Do I have to be certified?

A. I recently started a website for people with anxiety. That was pretty simple. As for a support group, you will probably just need to advertise in the local paper, craigslist, church bulletins, etc. in order to build a group. I don't think you need a therapist because you will likely be supporting others who are suffering, not curing them. Try online though. There is so much opportunity there to connect with others who are suffering with something similar.

What typically happens during a support group session?
Q. I finally found a support group in my area for people with mood disorders. But I'm very nervous to go. What should I expect? Is it like in the movies at all? And is it okay if I take my boyfriend along?
Asked by shekillsangels - Tue Jan 6 18:26:22 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Professionally led groups sometimes differ slightly from peer-to-peer type self-help groups. In both cases, however, it is likely not appropriate for you to bring your boyfriend into the group room itself, unless he himself has a mood disorder and plans to participate as a patient. Confidentiality is an important issue in ANY group, and having a non-member present is not usually acceptable. Some groups follow a specific format, whereas others are more free form. In professionally led groups, the group leader typically meets with potential new members ahead of time, and provides an orientation that includes information about the group (what you can expect, etc). If you do not have a professional leader, you might want to contact other… [cont.]

How to get husband to go to support carers group with you re: mental health /son?

Would it be a weekly group or bi-weekly or monthly. Who is going to run the group and what activities will the group engage in? Then be prepared to have all of your plans changed but let him know that you have a heart for people who have lost someone and tell him about how you believe that this is a good way for the church to take care of it's people and maybe draw in new people who suffer from a loss.

Exodus -- the time of wandering around in the desert, searching for the promised land (think of that as a metaphor) Out of Egypt -- because God's people were called to a new way of living in relationship to him and with one another, also recalls the suffering and wandering, searching for a better life.

The one I go to is pretty high functioning. Some are less so. Each caters to its audience. Mine starts with introductions that include first name, diagnosis, medication, and sometimes an answer to an off the wall question. Meanwhile a question pad goes around the room for ppl to ask anonymously whatever they want to ask. The mod reads the questions and discussion ensues. Sometimes there are a lot of ppl, sometimes a few. There always is turnover. It's a come as you like and showing up late is fine. The only rules are to be respectful which comes naturally to this crowd and no… [cont.]

Legal problems with creating an emotional support group for teens?
Q. I'd like to create an online emotional support group for teens where all of the members are teens as well. It would specifically be catered to teens with mental/emotional problems. Are there any legal problems I could run into?
Asked by Anonymous - Sun Nov 8 19:16:58 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Yes. There are so many legal issues I would not even know where to begin. If one of the teens does something to harm themselves or another person, you might be held liable depending on different factors. This is only one of many issues. I would suggest consulting a local attorney. The idea is great and I commend you for wanting to help and make a difference. You may even find a lawyer who will give you advice for free. Call around and see, it's worth a shot.

Is there a support group for people who have been bullied in school?
Q. Since the beginning of this year, I've been having a really hard time dealing with the bullying I went through in grade school. I graduated high school last May. I feel so depressed and I just don't feel I can take it anymore. Is there a support group out there for people who were bullied in school? Thank you.

A. I think that your looking for something that will help you is the first step toward getting rid of the disturbing feelings that you have. Congratulations for that. There are support groups for almost anything. Just look into your local directory. In case you find nothing listed, call the information directory and ask. The important thing is to start doing something about it. You are already doing that, and that's admirable. I wish you all the best.
