  The group will provide ongoing support both for those who have been through ASDI's fear of flying program, and for newcomers who are not yet ready for a practice flight/class. The main focus will be on utilizing member support in encouraging participants to remember and implement the cognitive and behavioral techniques they have learned to use while flying. Continued cognitive and behavioral education regarding the fears associated with flying will be presented during the class time on an as-needed basis. Group members are encouraged to attend monthly, however those who wish to attend on an as-needed basis will also be welcome. Please call or email to confirm attendance, as the group may miss the occasional meeting. If you would like monthly email reminders, please drop a note to Stephnie at stephniet@verizon.net and she will put you on a monthly email list.
