8. Find People To Manage The Group

Step Eight | Find People To Manage The Group

Running a peer support group takes a lot of work. You’ll need to handle both the meetings and many administrative tasks. It can help to have people share these responsibilities.

Group members can help manage tasks, and sometimes people who are not members might offer to help with administrative duties. You can divide tasks among different roles in the group.

Some key roles include:

• A facilitator to guides discussions.
• A group representative to orient members.
• A secretary to track group activities.
• A treasurer to manage and report on finances.
• Recruiting volunteers to help during meetings, offering members support and room set up.
