Experience tells me face to face is best for a support group. Electronic talk is ok but…….so much is missed from the personal face to face.
As for getting a group started ….there is possibly an ADD Association or Group in your area that would be more than pleased to assist you in setting up a face to face group…….I would check out the Web. Once organized with location, times, frequency and group rules…..they tend to run themselves….
Also if I may…….to benefit from a group experience, I didn’t use an ADD group. Just a group environment and it was the sharing that was most important for me. I found the group’s sharing criteria and their rules of conduct more critical than why they were there. Sharing is sharing….and sharing in itself it can be a huge healing.
Maybe important to consider is, safe environment, confidentiality, if the group is specific (ie. divorce) or just an issues group, regular meetings, that kind of thing.
Just some thoughts…..
