If you no longer attend PAL meetings, please mark the reason why.
PAL provided me with the tools to help myself, so I no longer feel a need to attend PAL meetings.
The curriculum does not work for me.
Schedule conflict (I do not have time to attend PAL meetings at the time they are available in my community).
I don't have the technical ability to participate in virtual meetings.
I don't like the virtual meetings necessitated by the pandemic.
The Facilitator did not create a supportive environment for member participation and emotional support (e.g., Facilitator dominates the meeting, there is an imbalance in participant opportunity for personal sharing time).
The meeting was disorganized (e.g., meeting content does not stay on track, meeting time runs over listed time limit).
