Having a set agenda for your support group can help volunteer facilitators keep things on track and let participants know what to expect in advance. Many groups find that 60-minutes is enough time for sharing stories and connecting with other attendees.

A sample agenda for a 60-minute meeting looks like:

• 5 minutes: Welcome, announcements, housekeeping, and group agreements
• 5 minutes: Introductions including name, pronouns, and what brought you to the meeting
• 45 minutes: Support group and facilitated discussion (looking for discussion topics?)
• 5 minutes: Last thoughts & closing remarks

This agenda can be adapted to meet your groups needs at any time.
