That sounds lovely Carol! I used to run a young adult group and found the with the young adults' schedules both either those in an academic setting or those in early career, the groups we offered that were more structured were more successful (better attended and higher satisfaction). Thus we ceased to offer a drop-in style, which is what we initially started with, and offered a spring and fall closed, curriculum style group which sounds similar to Carol's experience re: what worked.
