ROOM FOR THOUGHTS DID Checkin Group! Welcome everyone!

A check-in support group is a gathering where individuals come together to share their current emotional state, thoughts, or experiences in a safe and supportive environment. It's a way for people to connect, be heard, and receive encouragement from others.
Here's a breakdown of what a check-in support group typically involves:

• Purpose: To provide a space for individuals to express themselves, connect with others, and receive support.
• Format: Usually involves a group of people sitting in a circle or similar arrangement.
• Process: Each person takes a turn to "check in" by sharing how they are feeling or what they are experiencing. This could involve talking about their emotions, thoughts, or any challenges they are facing.
• Listening and Support: The focus is on active listening and offering support to those who are sharing. There is typically no advice-giving unless specifically asked for.
• Confidentiality: What is shared in the group is usually kept confidential to maintain a safe space for everyone.
  Benefits of a check-in support group:
• Emotional Release: Sharing feelings and experiences can be cathartic and help individuals process their emotions.
• Connection: Connecting with others who may have similar experiences can reduce feelings of isolation.
• Support: Receiving empathy and encouragement from others can be empowering.
• Self-Awareness: Reflecting on one's own emotions and experiences can lead to greater self-awareness.
  Check-in support groups can be helpful for a variety of situations, such as dealing with stress, managing mental health challenges, or simply connecting with others on a deeper level.
