Most meetings begin with introductions and each survivor telling of their loss and updating the group on changes. New members as they are ready participate in sharing.

Often there is a topic to begin the group discussion for example a favourite memory of your loved one, managing emotions (anger). Meetings usually involve members own experiences, knowledge and ideas.

Police members are welcomed and will attend to offer support and to answer questions members have about investigations, procedures etc.

Guest speakers occasionally are invited to present and share at meetings.
 
Acceptance and support are important principles of group support. No one is there to judge your feelings or to persuade you to think differently. Members help each other by sharing their own experiences and insights and allowing others to do the same. No one is there to judge your loved one that has been murdered.
