The Q-and-A Club: Community of the Curious and Courageous
BY ARLENE HARDER, MA, MFT
The Q-and-A Club encourages everyone anywhere to ask questions that expand his or her understanding of the world and of himself or herself.
Why a Q-and-A-Club?
The article What Happens When People Don't Ask Questions?, explores the reasons why the club was founded in January, 2007.
What Topics Do the Questions Cover?
As often as possible I choose a question that falls under one of the following categories:
 Expanding Your Horizons is intended to spark an interest in the earth and the people who live on it.
Understanding Yourself offers a variety of questions to help you become more aware of your strengths and how you can be more successful in life.
Strengthening Friendships and Relationships opens the door to many facets of love and friendship.
Exploring Social and Political Issues presents many questions on concerns and problems that challenge and divide us.
Deepening Faith and Spirituality gives you a chance to use questions that can broaden your understanding of what you believe and why.
How Do People Learn About The Question?
There are four ways to learn the current question.
1. Bookmark this page and visit about once every week or so.
2. Read the blog, which has lots of topics as well as these questions.
3. Subscribe to the free Support4Change Newsletter, where you'll not only receive the questions, you'll also find additional material that is not related to the Q-and-A Club.
4. Join the Yahoo! discussion group called, appropriately enough, Q-and-A Club Yahoo! Group. Here you can join the online discussion group and add your comments as well as pictures in the Yahoo! Photos section where you'll find pictures from the Visual Viewpoints feature. (You can also share your Visual Viewpoints on the Support4Change website without being a member of the Yahoo! group.) Your contribution of a comment or picture may encourage others to join with you—and have a lively discussion. Remember, all you have to do is go to the "qandaclub" home page and follow instructions for "Join This Group" in the top right of the page.
How Can You Join the Q-and-A Club?
You automatically become a member when you decide to answer the questions. You don't even need to tell me that you think of yourself as a club member. It doesn't cost you anything!
Can You Share Your Answers?
The focus of the Q-and-A Club is on using questions to stimulate thinking, so the emphasis is on having members share their ideas with family, friends, school mates, and fellow workers. You don't have to let me know your response to these questions. However, if you want to, use the Contact Us page.
