Personally, I think our members should be made to contribute their thoughts and feelings every once in a while at a discussion and to be the "entertainment" themselves FOR themselves. Ergo... a group discussion is born! Any other suggestions for support group meetings will be VERY welcome! Barb Mallut [log in to unmask] >> Barb, You're right. PWPs should interact at support group meetings. However, it seems to be all a case of what you get used to. A few years back the GWM&S (St Louis) had a couple of facilitators who, bless their hearts, tried to entertain us every meeting. We were starting to grumble as they did not let us talk among ourselves and share as we were used to doing. Fortunately, they quit after one year. Regards, WHH
