9. Orient New Group Members

Step Nine | Orient New Group Members

With your team trained and ready, you can start your peer support group. When people show interest, someone from your team (often the group representative) should welcome them. They will get to know the new members, answer questions, and explain what to expect.

Invite interested people to learn about the program before they decide to join. Give them an informed consent form to read. After they agree to join, ask them to share some basic information about themselves.
