Finding Strength In Us

Hello and welcome to my first ever support group that I'm putting together for you guys. I'm not sure how this is going to go but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will go well.

I wanted to create this support group for those who are struggling with mental health and be able to connect with others who are struggling with similar disorders. Also, for those who are struggling with sexuality or identity crisis and don't have a safe place at to home to talk to about what they are struggling with.

I wanted to create a safe place that is free from any type of drama or hate and we all are able to freely express who we are with no judgment. I want people to have a safe place to go to ask questions about whatever either to me or other people in the group.

In this group generally not meant to be as a dating type of thing but if you do happen to connect with someone in that way either with me or a different member of the group, it will be supported and if you happen to need any relationship advise or need to vent about relationship struggles you are safe to do so.  

In the following chapters, I will go over rules/guidelines that should followed in this support group and if anyone has any suggestions for the rules please mention them in the comments. I will also have a form for anyone who wants to join to fill out and I'll go over your resume and figure out which selection I'll place you in the support group. Each group will go through an introduction stage so we all can get to know each other and feel comfort before going on to the next stage of the group.

Again, this my very first time doing something like so it might be rough going for awhile but please don't let that stop you from joining.

In my final notes, I hope that this group helps everyone out and it gets known by a lot of people and be a safe heaven for everyone. Also, I'm going to be the manager of the group so I'm warning people now if I notice someone not following any of the rules/guidelines or someone personally tells me about someone who isn't or someone is being disrespectful towards someone. I'll talk to that person privately and only give one warning but if it happens again you'll be kicked out of the group permanently.
