Does anyone do webinars as social support groups? It would be way cheaper than gertting people to come into a clinic. I guess I am thinking of group therapy by webinar? Think weight loss support groups or a stop smoking intervention. It should be cheap to implement, yet still allow the advantages of interaction among group members?

I think it is a great idea. I know that many 12 step organizations run online meetings and they function and help very well.
I also know a Psychotherapist who does online counseling for sexual addictions. This protects the clients anonymity and helps them to feel safer and be more open.
I knew someone a few years back who did online counseling for women with eating disorders. I have wanted to try and do something like this myself.
Are you a counselor? If you have the expertise to set up the technical part of a webinar I would love to be a part of it.
I have been a therapist for many years as well as a client. I have mostly worked with eating disordered adults and trauma survivors. When I first got on the internet, around 11 years ago, I began looking for this type of thing. That is how I found the other situations I listed above. But that is all I have found.
I do not have my email open for Yahoo Answers but I will put it out here for this question because I am so interested. suzqisme2@yahoo.com
Thank you,
