Hey everyone!!
As you may already know, my topic was support groups. I will be presenting tomorrow. Here's my discussion questions.
1. Have you ever used a support group website?
2. Do you believe this has the same results as using a support group that meets face-to-face?
3. Would you be willing to seek support or help from a person you didn’t know?
I had never heard of a support group website before your presentation, but I thought that it is a pretty good idea. Even though talking with someone in person will most likely have a stronger effect on the person than through the Internet, I don't think support groups on the web are a bad idea. This gives the person the opportunity to speak anonymously with other people who are in a similar situation. If someone has gone through the same situation you have and has made it through, they can give tips to help you make it through your tough time. Nicole, you mentioned that your parents are divorced. Mine are divorced as well, and although I handled the divorce pretty well, I believe my younger sister could have benefited from an online support group because it was much harder for her to handle. Overall, I think this is an interesting topic and I feel like I could recommend some of these support groups to people who are going through a tough time.
