1 like•68 views
Professional-led support groups for weight management have consistent leadership from experienced and credentialed facilitators following a structured curriculum. Peer-led groups require training peer leaders and establishing group norms, but provide easier access and a more inclusive environment. Both options can effectively provide physical, emotional, nutritional, and social support if implemented properly.
