How would I write an email to get a support group started?
-
I am a junior in college and I have had Type 1 Diabetes for 18 years now. I had a lot of support when I was younger such as Diabetes camps and support groups. Since being at college I don't have one single person to talk to about the constant monitoring of Diabetes. I am trying to get a Type 1 Diabetes Support Group started. A lady from the student health center is willing to send out a campus-wide email to all students but I have to write it. I don't want the students to think it will be boring and we will just sit around at meetings and feel bad for each other and cry. I want it to just be a support group so that we can talk about similar experiences and get to know others like ourselves. I want people to be excited to come. I don't know if I should raffle off a blood glucose machine or have some sort of speaker or have some food there. Any suggestions to get college students to come? Please tell me how you would write the email and what ideas you have.

Answer:
If I were you, I would join Manny Hernandez's tudiabetes.org site and ask the group for some ideas. You are much more likely to get responses from fellow type ones in your situation. Here's the link: http://www.tudiabetes.org/

I don't think I'd look on campus because there may not be many others with diabetes. I'd go through your endocrinologist's office and ask to put a flyer there. Can you just post something on a school bulletin board saying something as simple as "If you have type 1 diabetes and are interested in being involved in a support group please email me". Short and to the point and you'll find out if people are interested.
