| The group is currently brainstorming topics of interest. However it sounds like
it will be directed towards considering Men's issues like child-rearing, feminism,
divorce, relationships to parents. This should not be a therapy group, although
sensitive issues will no doubt emerge. If you have had an experience with a group
like this your comments about the facilitator would be welcomed.

The group I've been a part of for about two years now first began
with a "interest" topic, but eventually drifted to a "hot spot"
driven discussion.
In this group, there is an implied (stated) trust level of
confidence. I can' speak for the other members, but I can tell
you how we work things out.
There is no one facilitator, since the issues affect all of us in
one way or another. If you need/want more information about
this, contact me directly.
If you want a "Driven" discussion there is a group (and I'm
trying to remember their name) on North Main Street in Nashua
that provides material (for a nominal fee) for self motivated
groups, and provides support. The headquarters for this
organization (non denominational) is on Main Street (Nashua, in
the large white building (old large house) near the intersection
of Main and Manchester Street, across from the First Church and
the Mobile Gas Station (about 200 feet from the Soldiers
Monument) .. Well, i can't remember their name, but I know where
they are at. My dentist is right near there also in the old
brownstone.)
The Catholic Church "used" to have a 'course' called (something
like) the Christian Family Movement (CFM). The materials were
primarily designed for Parents to interact with other parents
while being faced with their own shortcomings. One especially
good segment I recall was (for week 4): What we teach our
children. Week 5 was : What our children LEARN from us by
observing what we DO (emphasis mine).
There is (was) "something like" a Catholic Resource Center on
Hollis Street, but the course was "a while back", like 1974).
