The class is taught by two trained peer leaders and will meet for 6 weekly sessions of 2.5 hours each week.

The class is a combination of presentations, discussion, and activities with others who have similar experiences. Participants make weekly action plans, share experiences, and help each other solve problems they encounter in creating and carrying out their plan.
