I Want to Start My Own “Support Group”…(read On)?

Question by Joy Borrows: I want to start my own “support group”…(read on)?
I know what it’s like being on my own, feeling severely depressed and whatnot. And, I know lots of people who have been in the same boat as well. Thankfully, I’ve since got my life back on track 🙂 I guess, this has made me wonder…is there a way I can help others out? I’d love to start a little group where people can just come and go to support one another through the though times. It’d be about identifying oneself, knowing what makes them (the people who come to these “support one another” groups) happy and self-satisfied. You wouldn’t have to spill all of your problems of course- it’s more for being able to feel confident that you can cope with how things are going in your life (does that make any sense?) The group would be targeted at high school students (I’m in my last year of high school). I guess it’d be something of a “youth group” minus the religious parts. Do you think I could make this? And if so, how would I do it?

🙂 Also, the group doesnt require you to have had problems like drug abuse, depression, anxiety or any of that.

You could call it a social group or support group. The best people to ask are community centres and halls. They’l know who to involve and how to spread advertise it. After that it would be a good opportunity to try to get things on discount from charitable companies or organisations. Good luck! Sounds like a fun version of a youth club 😛
