Range within a single group
Hi all,
In brainstorming to get a SPACE group running, I'm wondering about how much to try and limit the age range of the youth, type of anxiety. Obviously, not limiting is much easier but wondering if people have done so and found it particularly problematic. I would greatly appreciate any insight from those who have run groups thus far on how you approached range you targeted.
Any other things you "wish you had known" would be great!
Thanks,
Chloe Zachary

Hi Chloe,
We have had groups where the youngest was 8 and the oldest was 15. In the future, I'd love to be able to split by age group. However, even with the significant age gap in children's ages, parents really connected through shared experiences and through sharing their experiences. We round-robin when we are reviewing announcement letters, so each is tailored and age appropriate while still maintaining the same structure.
Best,
