September 2007 Business

1) “C” was the moderator for the meeting

2) Creating a Therapist Contact Page on our website:
We discussed creating a new page for the website that would show any therapists who would like to have their names and contact info listed. We would only post those who are comfortable working with DID/dissociative clients. The group felt this could really be a help to DID people who are looking for therapists. “C” is going to draft a proposed website page and email invitation (to current therapists on the email list), to bring to the next meeting for discussion/edits.

3) Different Meeting Location?:
The group briefly discussed the idea of changing meeting locations to something further north. For non-city folks, getting into the city can be quite a trip, not to mention parking. The idea was tossed around, but no decision one way or another was made. The current location is fine. If someone finds something else that could work better, we will probably revisit the idea then.

4) Partner’s Group?:
A sidebar discussion occurred (but seemed important enough to post) about the idea of starting a partner’s group. This could be a peer-led group just like the DID group for partners/friends/relatives of those of us with DID. We thought this could possibly be a very helpful group. This idea will be discussed more officially at the next meeting.
