There are a variety of brief activities, or questions to start a community meeting that will establish a culture of care and respect. You can do this with your clients in the community setting, depending on what you are comfortable with and how time allows.  

1. List at least 3 questions would you use to start a conversation among your community of interest?

2. Describe your rationale for choosing these 3 questions.

Example: I would ask the residents to describe why they like about this community and why? I would choose this question because it will focus first on the positive aspects they are living with.
