Support Group Leader Resource Guide

Starting a Support Group

• Internet Connectivity: Stable and high-speed internet connectivity is crucial for smooth video and audio streaming during hybrid meetings. Groups without access to reliable internet connections may experience disruptions or poor quality, hindering the overall experience. • Technical Support: Setting up and troubleshooting technical issues during hybrid meetings can be challenging. Groups with limited technical expertise or support may face difficulties in ensuring a seamless experience for all participants. • Accessibility Considerations: Hybrid meetings should be designed to be inclusive and accessible for all participants, including those with disabilities or special needs. This may require additional assistive technologies or accommodations, which may not be available to groups without the necessary resources. • Physical Space and Layout: The physical meeting space should be designed to accommodate both in-person and remote participants effectively. This may involve setting up additional screens, cameras, and audio equipment, which may not be feasible for groups with limited resources or space constraints. Groups without access to these resources may find it challenging to implement hybrid meetings effectively, potentially leading to frustration, technical difficulties, and an overall inadequate experience for participants. It's important for groups to assess their technological capabilities and resources before deciding to implement hybrid meetings. If the necessary resources are not available, it may be more practical to focus on either fully in-person or fully virtual meetings until the required technology and support can be obtained.
