ALMA'S TRIPLE "A" SUPPORT
GROUP:
A.A.A. (in Spanish: Amigos Apoyando Amigos, in
English: Friends Supporting Friends) support group
which takes place every six months in a weekly
basis,
welcoming ten to twenty participants each week from
all over the Chicago land area. There is one group
coordinator in charge of the weekly topics and
making
sure the safety and tranquility of each participant
is
present at every session. Emphasis is placed on
first
time participants due to the need for more attention
and support on a particular case. Here we determine
which topics to consider for future sessions. ALMA
is
proud to claim, several outstanding acknowledgements
over the years from various participants of this
group
after they have completed this sessions, including
the
one from our new and first executive director.
