SUMMARY:Caring and Sharing Group
DESCRIPTION:Description\nA weekly gathering to offer support to one another through friendship\, conversation\, sharing resources and referrals\, and simply offering a listening ear\nAdditional Information: Each session is led by a support group facilitator. Conversation topics vary each session according to topics on the minds of the persons attending that day.\nDay and Time: Meetings are held every Friday afternoon from 1 to 2:30 pm. Participants are invited to attend weekly or whenever they want. \nLLL started this new activity because we know that non-Thai residents of Chiang Mai experience challenges in daily life such as major life changes\, personal losses\, transitions in relationships\, feelings of loneliness\, health\, financial\, and legal concerns\, caring for others\, fitting into Thai culture\, cross-cultural and on-line communication\, and finding the resources available here to make difficult life decisions. Rather than face these difficulties alone\, we offer you an opportunity to meet and exchange with others who may be facing similar challenges. \nPlease read the three comments below from participants who attended some resent group sessions. \n1. “The Friday afternoon Caring & Sharing Group provides a platform for participants to discuss the everyday questions\, concerns\, and challenges we face in Thailand in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. I attended the first two meetings and was astonished by the wealth of information that was shared by participants. I look forward to future meetings\, where I can learn as well as offer to help others.” (Barbara Weibel) \n2. “Caring & Sharing at Lifelong Learning Payap has been a productive\, inspiring\, and personally valuable source of information. It has given me the chance to learn from the experiences of others and to make new friends. Most importantly\, Caring & Sharing has brought me peace of mind by reminding me that I am not alone in my journey and my understanding of life.” (Richard Johnson) \n3. “I find myself surprised at how much I look forward to the meetings on Friday. Since I often feel anxious about the future\, I’m surprised at how at ease I feel about sharing my feelings with this group.  I have no other individuals or groups with whom I want to share my concerns.  I can really empathize with others who share their health news\, and I expect that if I get some new unwanted medical test results\, I’ll be able to share them with the group.” (Bonnie Brereton) \nIf you would like to take part\, please click HERE. We will add your name to the Caring and Sharing email list\, and you will get a weekly meeting reminder from LLL. You are invited to come to any or all sessions. \nPlease share this information with your friends and others you think might like to know about the group.

SUMMARY:Caring and Sharing Group
DESCRIPTION:Description\nA weekly gathering to offer support to one another through friendship\, conversation\, sharing resources and referrals\, and simply offering a listening ear\nAdditional Information: Each session is led by a support group facilitator. Conversation topics vary each session according to topics on the minds of the persons attending that day.\nDay and Time: Meetings are held every Friday afternoon from 1 to 2:30 pm. Participants are invited to attend weekly or whenever they want. \nLLL started this new activity because we know that non-Thai residents of Chiang Mai experience challenges in daily life such as major life changes\, personal losses\, transitions in relationships\, feelings of loneliness\, health\, financial\, and legal concerns\, caring for others\, fitting into Thai culture\, cross-cultural and on-line communication\, and finding the resources available here to make difficult life decisions. Rather than face these difficulties alone\, we offer you an opportunity to meet and exchange with others who may be facing similar challenges. \nPlease read the three comments below from participants who attended some resent group sessions. \n1. “The Friday afternoon Caring & Sharing Group provides a platform for participants to discuss the everyday questions\, concerns\, and challenges we face in Thailand in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. I attended the first two meetings and was astonished by the wealth of information that was shared by participants. I look forward to future meetings\, where I can learn as well as offer to help others.” (Barbara Weibel) \n2. “Caring & Sharing at Lifelong Learning Payap has been a productive\, inspiring\, and personally valuable source of information. It has given me the chance to learn from the experiences of others and to make new friends. Most importantly\, Caring & Sharing has brought me peace of mind by reminding me that I am not alone in my journey and my understanding of life.” (Richard Johnson) \n3. “I find myself surprised at how much I look forward to the meetings on Friday. Since I often feel anxious about the future\, I’m surprised at how at ease I feel about sharing my feelings with this group.  I have no other individuals or groups with whom I want to share my concerns.  I can really empathize with others who share their health news\, and I expect that if I get some new unwanted medical test results\, I’ll be able to share them with the group.” (Bonnie Brereton) \nIf you would like to take part\, please click HERE. We will add your name to the Caring and Sharing email list\, and you will get a weekly meeting reminder from LLL. You are invited to come to any or all sessions. \nPlease share this information with your friends and others you think might like to know about the group. \nCOST: FREE EVENT
