Group Loop is your place to be open, be yourself, connect
with new friends, and of course, feel better.
Take a chance—talk about your concerns
and see if it helps!
We have learned that teens who are willing to talk
about their lives—including their thoughts and
feelings—enjoy and get the most out of their Online
Support Group. In fact, teens say that they often feel
less alone, more encouraged, and more connected with
each other when they talk in groups.
The more you are in the loop and interested in the
lives of your fellow Group Loop members, the more you
will enjoy and get something back from the Online Support
Group. The more interested you are in others, the more
interested they will be in you. Your Group Loop “friends”
have many of the same life experiences and challenges
as you take this opportunity to share with each other.
Being Patient Active in group discussions by asking
questions and giving feedback helps you relate better
to your Group Loop friends. When you share in group
you may find that you relate better to friends and family
outside of group.
Get to know each other outside of your Online Support
Group. We encourage you to talk 2 teens in other ways
such as through the message boards, telephone calls,
emails, or in any way that may work for you. It is important
to let others know whether you want to be contacted
outside of the group. Discuss your limits so that we
all understand each other better.
Take a chance—talk about your concerns and see
if it helps!
