• How the Meetings are Run/Organized : (Please note the online meeting link must be provided for each meeting) (what helping model is it based on; what is the “leader’s” role; how does the group recognize success stories; what do they do for relapses, etc.)
• Personal Comments of the Meetings (what you heard; what was interesting; comments of the group members [no names]; what you noticed about interactions among group members; if it is a video meeting, what specific behaviors did you observe.)
