Our 2009 support group year has come and gone and we would love your feedback! From speakers like plastic surgeons and licensed clinical social workers, to activities like Walk From Obesity, what did you enjoy most? What did you find most beneficial? What improvements would you make to our support group for 2010?

For December's support group, attendance was not as desirable. Was it the busy holidays interfering with the schedule? Was it the weather? Was it the topic (Clothing Exchange)? Or was it all of the above? As we look to 2010 and new changes that can be made, your input is vital.

However, one idea was further solidified during support group this month: Support from peers is vital. Whether it's 5, 20, or 40 patients in attendance, knowing that you can interact with others who know exactly what you are going through is of great importance. We so value the efforts made by our patients this month to come and feel the support of others and RMAP. We strongly encourage you to make a new resolution to make support group a constant in your life!
