I know these questions weren't intended for me, but I am going to answer, anyway.
My Aspergers women group meets once a month, at a local building that houses nothing but charities and community organizations. We follow an agenda. Relationships, and women's issues are the main topics of discussion. Usually, the last half of the meeting is dedicated to socializing. For many of the ladies, this is the only time they get to do this.
We have an email list. There is a secret facebook page for members who have an account. Most of us dislike phones so we don't bother with a phone list.
Sometimes, outside events are planned. Ladies will meet to watch a movie, have a tea, attend a concert and so on. A lot of us don't work, so the events are generally affordable.
I enjoy this group, because I can relate to the ladies and their experiences. We support each other. It isn't really a psychiatric group, but almost all of us have an anxiety disorder of some kind and/or depression.
mimi2112, I hope this gives you some ideas for your group.
