I've been going for two months now. It's very therapeutic listening to others and being able to relate and helping others. The support from others helps so much. At ours the first hour is about a topic that we discuss, sometimes learning something or sharing experiences. Once a month a psychologist comes in and discusses a topic or she offers input on emails that have been sent to her. The second hour we break up into small groups and we each get a turn talking about what's going on with us and others then offer advice. Also when we break up into small groups there is a group for family support, which has been very helpful for my family. That's how it works at ours.
